Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
I want to get primary custody of my children. My ex-husband and I currently share joint custody. My exhusband does not dust, sweep, vacuum, or clean up after himself. He calls it "womans work" and makes my 12 year old daughter do most of the cleaning. It is too much for her to keep up with. What is the best way to document the unsanitary conditions in my ex-husbands home to help me in getting custody?

Due to a 2008 Kentucky Supreme Court Case, the term "primary custody" does not mean much if anything. What you are actually wanting is to modify timeshare so that your children live with you most of the time. The only standard the judge has to meet to change timeshare is that the change is in the best interest of the children. The judge will look at many factors, including the environment they live in, to reach the decision.
