As you and your former spouse begin working through divorce proceedings, it will be necessary for you to separate assets, finances and property as fairly as possible. Often, this portion of a divorce is the most time consuming and contentious. However, if you go into proceedings with an understanding of how marital property is determined, you may feel more confident going into mediation. At Fowler Bell, we are experienced in dealing with the complications that are often present during a divorce in Kentucky.
Kentucky's shifting child custody laws
It goes without saying that prolonged time without one's child can become excruciating. Yet that is exactly what countless Kentucky parents go through, regardless of how amicable the separation may have been. Child visitation rights can change from state to state, but a shift in Kentucky's visitation laws could make the process much simpler for parents and their children.
Creating a positive and beneficial co-parenting experience
Every year, many Kentucky couples who are embroiled in volatile relationships, turn to divorce as a way to correct marriage drama by going their separate ways. Unfortunately, in a majority of cases, these couples have had children together who are left grappling for normalcy in a world that has been turned around. In fact, according to ky.gov, nearly one million children experience the effects of divorce every year in the United States. While there are many approaches to arranging child custody and parental visitation, co-parenting is one solution that holds promise if executed the right way.

For couples who have had children together, the process can be especially complicated. However, they must remember that the best interest of their children should be their utmost priority.
