Kentucky Property Distribution Laws
Marital property is divided in a Kentucky divorce in an equitable manner. Marital property does not include property acquired by either party before the marriage, gifts or inheritances. Marital property is divided in a Kentucky divorce action based upon the following factors:
-
the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the marital property, including the contribution of each spouse as homemaker;
-
the value of each spouse's separate property;
-
the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time the division of property is to become effective, including the desirability of awarding the family home to the spouse awarded custody of any children; and
-
the length of the marriage.
