Where do I file for divorce if I live in Scott County?

Scott County residents file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in Scott County Family Court in Georgetown. Kentucky requires that you or your spouse has lived in the state for at least 180 days before filing.

How long does a Kentucky divorce take?

Kentucky law requires a 60-day waiting period from the date of service before a divorce can be finalized. An uncontested divorce may be completed shortly after that period, while a contested divorce involving custody or property disputes can take longer depending on the issues.

How much does a divorce cost in Kentucky?

Cost depends on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested and on the complexity of custody and property issues. An uncontested divorce is far less expensive than a litigated one. We explain our fees clearly at your consultation so there are no surprises.

How Divorce Works in Kentucky

Kentucky is a no-fault divorce state, which means you do not have to prove wrongdoing — only that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The basic path looks like this:

Residency. You or your spouse must have lived in Kentucky for at least 180 days before filing.
Petition. A Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed in Scott County Family Court and served on your spouse. Our step-by-step filing guide walks through this in detail.
60-day waiting period. Kentucky requires at least 60 days from service before a divorce can be finalized.
Resolution. Uncontested cases can be finalized soon after the waiting period. Contested cases proceed through temporary orders, discovery, and, if necessary, a hearing on custody, support, and property.
