How Does Property Division Work In Kentucky?

Kentucky law seeks fairness, though not necessarily equality, in property division. The term for this is “equitable distribution,” and it is a principle that guides our counsel as we represent you. We strive to ensure your marital assets and debts are divided fairly.

Understanding the difference between marital and separate property is crucial. Marital property includes assets and debts acquired during your marriage, while separate property is what you brought into the marriage or received individually, such as an inheritance. We can help you identify and categorize your property to protect your interests.

Sometimes, separate property becomes mixed with marital property. This is called commingling, and it can complicate the division of your assets. We are adept at establishing the ownership of your assets and arguing for their proper classification to ensure a fair division.

Factors That Influence Property Division

Kentucky courts consider four factors when determining the division of marital assets. These factors are:

• The length of your marriage
• The value of your property
• You and your spouse’s contributions to the marriage
• You and your spouse’s economic circumstances

Regardless of how these factors could affect the share of marital property you receive, we will help you build a compelling case that reflects your marital contributions and current needs.
