What happens during an initial consultation with an uncontested divorce attorney?

​​During your meeting, we will discuss a variety of issues such as:

• Your assets
• Your debts
• Your spouse’s assets
• Your spouse’s debts
• Whether children are involved
• What joint vs. sole custody means
• What parenting time schedule options are out there and what appeals to you
• How you want to divide holidays and other special occasions
• Whether you and your spouse have discussed child support or other financial arrangements for the support of your children
• Whether you and your spouse have attended parenting classes (which is now required in Fayette County divorces involving minor children)
• What informal agreements you have reached with your spouse
• Whether there are issues that are yet to be addressed between you and your spouse
• Whether there are retirement accounts to divide

As you may be able to tell, it can be difficult to achieve an agreement on every issue when there are so many things to sort out.  Thus, even if you think you need an uncontested divorce, you should still seek advise with a Lexington KY divorce attorney to be sure that you are making legally sound decisions.  Most of your agreements will be spelled out in a formal written agreement, sometimes called a Property Settlement Agreement.  This document sets out the rights and obligations of each party moving forward.
