Joint Custody Agreements in Kentucky

Louisville Family Law Attorneys

When going through a divorce involving children, it is often tremendously difficult to reach custody agreements that work for you, your ex-partner, and the children. When disputes simply cannot be resolved out of court, the matter may be taken before a Judge. In Kentucky, courts generally acknowledge that it is important for both parents to remain actively involved in their child’s life. Accordingly, there is a strong tendency to award joint custody. In fact, Kentucky now has a presumption of joint custody in most situations and sole custody is typically only granted when it can be shown that one parent presents a direct danger to a child’s safety or the relationship between the parents is toxic. Our Louisville family law attorneys are dedicated to assisting families through all aspects of child custody agreements and modifications to custody.
