The process at OnlineDivorce.com is 100% secure. We protect your information, and nothing is filed until you submit the divorce papers to the courthouse yourself. Filing for divorce in Kentucky with the Onlinedivorce.com system can be a simple solution to a difficult situation.
Filing:
When you use OnlineDivorce.com, we help you fill out your divorce paperwork using a simple online questionnaire. You can fill it out alone or with the assistance of your spouse. Then, you will need to get a signature from your spouse, and you can file the divorce forms with your local court.
In Kentucky, you will typically file with the courthouse in the county in which you currently reside. If a petitioner is not currently a resident but a defendant is, divorce is typically filed in the county where the defendant resides.
The actual filing process is explained in our detailed court-filing instructions that we provide, along with your completed divorce forms. You can also obtain assistance from your local courthouse by calling or stopping by.
After the initial filing, you may need to follow up if there are any issues with your documents. When you use OnlineDivorce.com, we allow you to make minor adjustments to your forms as requested by the court at no additional charge.
Our goal is to help you obtain your divorce with as little hassle and stress as possible using our online divorce documents preparation service.
Residency:
Every state has specific requirements where divorcing couples must establish residency before filing for divorce. Kentucky is no exception.
To file for a divorce in the State of Kentucky, the filing spouse must have been a state resident for at least 180 days before submitting the paperwork to the court. Or, the spouses must live in the state separately and apart for at least 60 days before filing.
There are many ways to prove that residency has been established. The easiest way is if one or both spouses have a valid and current Kentucky driver’s license, ID card, or voter’s registration card issued at least six months before filing for divorce.
However, if this is not the case, it may be possible to establish residency by having someone who knows you or your spouse testify that you have lived in the state for at least six months. Additionally, it may be possible to use an Affidavit of Corroborating Witness form as proof you’ve lived in the state for a minimum of six months.

OnlineDivorce reviews
Wesley H., Missouri
I started my divorce on my own, spending loads of money on lawyer visits in the beginning.
So I decided to google for other ways and using this site was so much more simple!
James V., Texas
I had a very successful business at the time. So, making sure I had the right forms was
very very important during my divorce. I was so surprised at how easy and smooth this process was.
Chloe J., Florida
After years of a tumultuous marriage, I finally decided that I needed to reclaim my life.
I was looking for how to go about it and came across this site and they simplified and made
the process of divorce easy for me. I never thought it would’ve been possible.
Will S., Colorado
Stress-free and easy! I was initially gonna hire a lawyer but I found online divorce the
next best option. No muss, no fuss divorce. No big legal words that I’d have to have read
10 times to understand!
Marco P., California
California is expensive and divorce can be even more expensive in the end but I can say
that this site payed everything out for me to follow, from child support to alimony.
My ex agreed to go this way as well so it was a much less expensive option for us.
Tamara B., Nevada
Because of the whole dissolution of the marriage, I was struggling with two children and
just in limbo with my husband at the time because of child support and alimony. I was a
stay-at-home mom for 10 years. I just want to say that this site helped me sort it out.
Thank you.
Theresa S., New York
I live in upstate NY and unfortunately one day I found myself in a situation for divorce.
I was all out of whack, needed answers to take action. Enough was enough so I did it on this
site. Everything was clear to understand, all forms and what to put in which box.
Livy B., Illinois
Onlinedivorce.com is the bomb! I mean, using it was so easy to follow. So, if you find
yourself in this situation do your divorce here if possible. Documents for all stages,
alimony, child support and all!

Custody of the child in Kentucky
The court may award sole or joint custody, giving equal consideration to both spouses. Custody will be awarded based on what is deemed to be in the best interests of the child, considering the following factors:
Preference of a sufficiently mature child;
The desires of the parents;
The child’s adjustment to home, school, and community;
The mental and physical health of all involved;
The relationship that the child has with his or her parents, siblings, and other family members;
Any evidence of abuse;
Whether the child has been cared for and/or supported by a non-parent; and
Whether the parent allows the child frequent, meaningful, and continuing contact with the other parent.
Any marital misconduct of a parent that does not affect the relationship with the child is not to be considered. Abandonment of the family home by a parent will not be considered if the parent fled because of abuse or threats of physical harm by the other spouse. [Kentucky Revised Statutes; Title XXXV, Chapter 403, Section .270]
Rules for child support in Kentucky
Kentucky has placed specific state-mandated child support guidelines that apply in virtually every case, barring exceptional circumstances. With this, both parties’ gross incomes and certain child-related expenses are considered. In most child support cases, payments continue until the child reaches eighteen years of age and may extend until the completion of secondary school.
Either or both parents can be ordered to provide a reasonable amount of child support without regard to any marital misconduct or the gender of the parents. It would be based on the official Child Support Guidelines, which are contained in the following statute. These guidelines are assumed to be correct but can, at times, be adjusted based on the following considerations:
A child’s who has extraordinary medical or dental needs;
A child’s who requires educational, job training, or special needs;
Either parent’s out of the typical needs, such as medical expenses;
The independent financial resources of a child;
The combined parental income in excess of the Kentucky child support guidelines amounts;
Any predetermined agreement between the parents on child support provided that no public assistance is being provided; and
Any additional extraordinary circumstance.
In addition, the court may require that a parent provide health care insurance coverage for his or her child. [Kentucky Revised Statutes; Title XXXV, Chapter 403, Section .210 to .212]

Rules for spousal support in Kentucky
Alimony, also known as spousal support, is sometimes ordered by the court to help one spouse live in a manner established during the marriage after the divorce.
Either spouse may be awarded maintenance if:
That spouse lacks the property to provide for his or her own needs; and
That spouse can not find appropriate employment or is unable to work because of obligations to care for children or others in his or her custody.
Marital fault isn’t considered. The award is, however, based on the following factors:
The time that would be necessary to obtain education and training that would enable a spouse to find employment to support his or herself, and that spouse’s potential earning capacity;
The standard of living that was enjoyed during the marriage;
The length of the marriage;
The ability of the supporting spouse to meet his or her own needs while helping to meet those of the support-seeking spouse;
The financial resources of the spouse who seeks the maintenance, including marital property assigned to each spouse and the spouse’s ability to meet his or her needs independently and finally any share of a child support award intended for the custodian; and
The overall physical and emotional conditions of the spouses. [Kentucky Revised Statutes; Title XXXV, Chapter 403, Section .200]
Property division in Kentucky
When a couple chooses to divorce in Kentucky, they must distribute property fairly and agreeably.
Kentucky is an “equitable distribution” state. The spouses can keep any separate property (property acquired before the marriage and any gifts or inheritances). All other property (deemed as marital property) is divided, without regard to any marital misconduct, in fair and just proportions, based on these factors:
The contribution that each spouse made toward acquiring the marital property, including the contribution a spouse may have made as a stay-at-home parent or homemaker;
The value of a spouse’s separate property;
The economic circumstances of the spouses when the division of property is to become effective, including the desirability of awarding the family home to the spouse who has primary custody of any children;
The duration of the marriage; and
Any retirement benefits that may be due to the spouses. [Kentucky Revised Statutes; Title XXXV, Chapter 403, Section .190]

Filing fees for divorce in Kentucky
When you file your divorce papers, the court will charge filing fees that may vary by county. These costs are in addition to the cost of using OnlineDivorce.com. Please check with your local courthouse to determine the exact amount.
How long will it take?
Using the OnlineDivorce.com service usually takes between 30 minutes and two hours or more, depending on the complexity of your case. Start by filling out the questionnaire. You can do it in one sitting or save your progress and complete it at a later date. Whatever is most convenient for you.
Once you’ve received the completed documents, you will need to file them and get your spouse’s signature. You’ll receive more information regarding the finalization of the divorce case once the paperwork has been completed and submitted to the courts.
Here is how OnlineDivorce.com makes completing divorce papers easier:
We provide the full divorce packet required by the local court - clients do not need to drive to their local courthouse to get the blank forms or search for the right divorce forms online. In rare cases, local county forms can vary in color, paper material, size, or bar code, so they may need to be obtained directly from the county clerk's office.
We complete the necessary forms for clients based on their answers given in a simple guided online interview - clients do not need to understand family law or read through complicated instructions to figure out how to fill out the forms themselves.
We give detailed, easy to follow step-by-step instructions for filing a divorce with the court - so the client knows exactly what to do to get his/her divorce finalized.
We provide unlimited technical support - if a client needs assistance through the online process, he/she can always reach out to us via phone, email, or live chat, and we'll do our best to help.
We save our clients time and money - if divorcing spouses agree regarding the terms of their divorce, they typically don’t have to pay thousands to a lawyer to handle their divorce forms and don't need to spend hours trying to do it all by themselves.
Sample Documents by State

filings may be different depending on your state.
Coming soon! If you want to have a look at sample forms for your state and
you cannot find them here, please just give us a call or send us an email.
At OnlineDivorce, we care about our customers and stand by the quality of our services -
so we’ll refund our fees, other than the activation fee, within the first 30 days of purchase
if you're unhappy with our services. Call or email us and we'll process your refund.
What it doesn't cover:
We provide significant services beyond the generation of your forms. Answers to common questions,
filing instructions, and customer care provided during the process of using our site are just some
of the valuable services we provide. For this reason, we unfortunately cannot grant a refund in
cases where a customer has accessed our post-purchase services, including our post-purchase
questionnaires, forms, instructions, and customer care center, unless there’s a flaw in our
underlying documents. If you have not accessed our post-purchase services, however, you can
request a refund within 30 days of purchase.
In addition, we cannot guarantee that a customer's spouse will sign the documents and cannot provide
a refund where the spouse refuses. We cannot provide refunds for fees we collect on behalf of others
that we cannot get back. For example, if you purchase the electronic filing of your documents, complete
the documents, and we pay to file with a court, the court will not refund those fees to us and we cannot
refund them to you. Similarly, if you purchase a package with prepaid shipping labels, we cannot obtain
a refund for those labels. Finally, fees paid directly to lawyers or for mediation services are not covered
by this guarantee.
