A Contested divorce in Kentucky is considered “contested” when one or more issues cannot be resolved through agreement between the parties. In such cases, the divorce must go through the legal system to be settled, either through alternative dispute resolution or litigation.

On the  other hand, An uncontested divorce is a legal process in which both parties agree on all of the terms of the divorce, including property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support. This type of divorce can be a simpler, less expensive, and less time-consuming alternative to a contested divorce, which can involve lengthy court battles and legal fees.

Kentucky is a no-fault divorce state, which means that a divorce can be granted if both parties agree that there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. To obtain a divorce in Kentucky, one party must have resided in the state for at least 180 days before filing a divorce petition, and the parties must have been separated for a minimum of 60 days before the divorce can be granted.
