Bill Text

Kentucky HB109 amends divorce laws to delay testimony in cases involving minor children.

Kentucky HB109 modifies the Kentucky Revised Statutes to establish a 60-day waiting period before testimony can be taken in divorce cases involving minor children. This delay starts from the service of summons, appointment of a warning order attorney, or filing of a responsive pleading by the defendant, whichever comes first. Exceptions are made for temporary motions and cases where parties have completed the collaborative law process or family mediation and have filed the required documents with the court.
