Will I have to pay alimony?
Ending a marriage can cause financial difficulties for both parties. One big question for the spouse that has been the primary means of support is: Will I have to pay alimony? It is certainly a valid question for any person in Kentucky who is thinking about divorce.
Mediation may be used to resolve insurance disputes

What is required for a bad faith claim?
Dealing with an insurance company, regardless of the reason, can often be challenging. Insurance companies in Kentucky are usually focused on finding ways to make money and not pay it out. When it comes to claims, they will investigate thoroughly to ensure they do not pay out when they are required to do so.
