Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

Seeking divorce info, concerned about child custody

I am currently seeking information on filing for divorce from my wife due to a number of issues that build up to a situation that I can not deal with as a partner in a marriage any longer. Unfortunately, we have an 8 1/2 month old son. I am concerned as to what will happen with him, what my rights are, what kind of custody should be sought, and things along that line. Her parents are rather involved in her side of the issue and have money to afford legal representation. I am living check to check currently and am very concerned about how to afford legal services and aid, especially if this should come to a trial matter of any kind over the custody issue. Any and all information is greatly appreciated in advance.

Re: Seeking divorce info, concerned about child custody

You need to seek advice from local counsel. The issues that you bring up are too complicated for a short "one-time" answer. Generally speaking, the child will live with one of you, (unless there is true joint custody) and the other will pay child support. The property will be divided. Without more specific information, this is the best answer possible.
