Divorce and custody issues are emotionally taxing—and navigating them without clear legal guidance only adds stress. At Rawdon & Cantrill, we help clients move forward with compassion, honesty, and a firm grasp of Kentucky law. 

What You Should Know Up Front

1. Kentucky Has a 60-Day Waiting Period
Once a filing is submitted, there’s a mandatory 60‑day waiting period. More complex cases—especially involving child custody or property division—can extend well beyond that. 

2. It’s a No-Fault Divorce State
You don’t have to prove wrongdoing. Declaring that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” is sufficient. This keeps the focus where it should be: on the legal outcome, not assigning blame. 

3. Child-Centered Decisions
Courts in Kentucky focus on the best interests of the child—considering factors like parental bonds, household stability, and any history of abuse. We help parents negotiate fair custody, parenting time, and support arrangements.

4. Equitable Property Distribution
Kentucky distributes marital assets fairly—not necessarily equally. We represent clients in securing what they’re rightfully entitled to under the law.

5. You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Especially in cases involving children, significant assets, or complex disagreements, legal counsel matters. We provide clarity, strategy, and personalized guidance from start to finish.
