FAQs

How much will child support be?

Child support is set based on the income of both parties, the number of children, the cost of health insurance and child care. Contact us today to discuss what your child support obligation may be.

What is the difference between a legal separation and a divorce?

In a legal separation, the parties still address all issues of property and debt like they would in divorce. However, in a legal separation you can still continue to cover your spouse on insurance, and the parties are prohibited from getting remarried. Contact your Louisville family lawyer today to discuss which option is best for you.

What will happen to our home when we get divorced?

When a couple going through divorce owns their home, they have a few options regarding the property. One of the spouses can retain the home for their sole use, but will likely have to refinance any mortgages on the property. The other option is to place the home up for sale. In the event that there is equity in the home, each party will be entitled to a share of the equity in the home. Contact your Louisville Family Lawyer to discuss your divorce today.

How can I get custody of my child?

If you are seeking information regarding spending time with your child, please refer to our visitation and child support page. If custody has not previously been legally established, you will need to file a Petition with the Court to establish legal custody.

What is the difference between an (EPO) and a (DVO)?

An Emergency Protective Order (EPO) is a short term Order of protection that is put in place until the Court can have a hearing with both parties to determine if a long term Order of protection should be put in to place. If the Judge determines that domestic violence has occurred, and is likely to occur again in the future, a Domestic Violence Order (DVO) will be issued. A Domestic Violence Order (DVO) is a long term Order of protection put in place for up to three years, and prohibits the Respondent from contacting the Petitioner. If you need representation at an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) hearing, contact your Louisville Family Lawyer today to discuss your case.
