About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Kentucky, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Kentucky is a one-spouse petition state in Circuit Court. Cases with living minor children also require a complete custody and support agreement and the official CS-71 worksheet. A 60-day testimony floor applies when there is a minor child. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.

The 5 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in Word and print-ready PDF formats. The packet centers on the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
One spouse must have lived in Kentucky, or been stationed in Kentucky in the armed services, for 180 days immediately before filing (KRS 403.140). File in Circuit Court, Family Division where one exists. Confirm the county with the clerk.
Kentucky’s only ground is that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no reasonable prospect of reconciliation (KRS 403.170). One spouse files a verified Petition. Kentucky does not have a statewide joint-petition form.
The same 60-day lived-apart rule applies. If there is a minor child of the marriage, no non-temporary testimony — and do not sign official AOC-251.5/252.5 — until 60 days after service, a warning-order appointment, or an appearance or answer, whichever comes first (KRS 403.044). That extra clock does not apply if the only child is 18 or older and still in high school. Child support is calculated on official CS-71 worksheets. Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is built for uncontested cases where both spouses cooperate, usually by signing a waiver of service. If your spouse will contest the case, consult a Kentucky attorney.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Kentucky attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
