To file for divorce in Kentucky, you must meet certain residency requirements:
- At Least 180 Days: You or your spouse must have lived in Kentucky for at least 180 days before filing for divorce.
- Residency Assertion: If the respondent (the non-filing spouse) is a Kentucky resident, there’s no requirement for you to have lived in Kentucky for any specific period.
Meeting these residency criteria is crucial to initiate a divorce process in Kentucky. For personalized advice, it’s recommended to consult legal experts.
