Property Division
Kentucky is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly, though not necessarily equally.
Property division is often one of the most contentious aspects of divorce. Kentucky follows equitable distribution, meaning assets are divided fairly based on multiple factors, not automatically 50/50. Understanding what constitutes marital vs. separate property is crucial to protecting your interests.
