Divorce Process Serving in Kentucky

Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In Kentucky, about 60 days minimum; most uncontested cases finalize in 2 to 3 months once the separation period and paperwork are complete.

Filing in Kentucky

Court

Circuit Court (Family Court division in participating counties)

Residency

One spouse must have lived in Kentucky for at least 180 days (6 months) before filing.

Filing fee

Roughly $115–$200 depending on county (passed through at cost).

Waiting period

60-day waiting period during which the spouses must live separate and apart before the divorce can be finalized (living under the same roof qualifies as long as the spouses are not living as a married couple); this requirement cannot be waived.
