Divorce isn’t just the end of a marriage—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. At Rawdon & Cantrill, we guide clients through Kentucky’s divorce and custody process with compassion and clarity.

How Long Does a Divorce Take in Kentucky?

There is a 60-day waiting period after filing for divorce. However, complex cases involving custody, property division, or disputes can take several months or more.

Is Kentucky a No-Fault Divorce State?

Yes. You don’t need to prove infidelity or wrongdoing. Simply stating that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” is enough.

What Happens to the Kids?

The court’s main concern is the best interest of the child. This includes:

• Each parent’s relationship with the child

• Living situation stability

• Any history of abuse or neglect

We help parents negotiate custody agreements, parenting time, and child support.

Who Gets the House or Property?

Kentucky uses “equitable distribution,” meaning assets are divided fairly—not necessarily 50/50. We help clients fight for what’s rightfully theirs.

Do I Need a Lawyer?

Yes—especially if children, significant assets, or a difficult ex-spouse are involved. We protect your interests and give you a clear legal strategy from day one.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether it’s divorce paperwork or child custody court, we’re by your side every step of the way.
