Contested and Uncontested Divorce in Western Kentucky
Divorce is never easy and if you have been served with divorce papers, or if you think that you will file for divorce in the near future, you need an experienced advocate on your side. I am attorney Kevin Olsen. I am an experienced trial lawyer and skilled negotiator. I offer my clients the legal know-how and compassion they need when they are going through the emotional process of a divorce. I offer a free initial consultation to explain the divorce process
As your lawyer, I will protect your rights and help you reach a fair resolution of all of the issues that need to be resolved, including:
- Marital property division: In Kentucky, all assets accumulated during your marriage (with certain limited exceptions) will be divided equitably with your spouse, including assets such as pension plans and 401(k) plans.
- Alimony: Known as spousal maintenance in Kentucky, alimony is awarded in longer-term marriages or when there is a significant income disparity between the two parties. For information regarding the statute governing maintenance in Kentucky, please feel free to call attorney Kevin Olsen.
- Child custody and visitation: If you have children, negotiating custody and visitation will be one of the most important issues in your divorce.
- Child support: In Kentucky, child support is determined by a formula that considers the incomes of both parents, the number of children you have and your custody arrangement.
If you and your spouse can agree on all of the issues, you can have an uncontested divorce, which may be faster, less expensive and less stressful than a contested divorce. If you need an attorney to help prepare the necessary pleadings and guide you through the process of obtaining an uncontested divorce, please feel free to call attorney Kevin Olsen.
