but to do that he would of has to claim abandonment. I guess i am out of my area of expertise. I just find it hard to believe he could get a no fault divorce without giving her a chance to claim damages.

Does Kentucky grant divorces based on marital fault?

Kentucky does not grant a divorce based on fault. The court is only required to make a finding that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The court cannot consider why the marriage is broken in its determination.

Do I have to go to court?

Approximately 95% of all cases settle before a trial. If your case falls into this 95% then you may not ever step foot in a courtroom as it relates to your divorce. However, if your case does not settle and there needs to be a trial, you will have to go to court.

 

If attempts to serve my spouse do not work, what is my next step?

There are several options available to a party if it is difficult to serve the other party. It is possible to use a sheriff or process server to serve the other party. If it is still difficult, then the court can appoint a warning order attorney to effectuate service of process.

That attorney will use their best efforts to serve the other party and the court will deem the party served even if the warning order attorney is ultimately unsuccessful.

What if my spouse does not want the divorce?

Since Kentucky is a no-fault state it does not matter if one spouse does not want the divorce. The court is required to enter a decree if only one spouse desires the divorce.
