My Spouse is Gone, But is the Debt?
After a divorce, the last thing one wants to consider is the debt that their former spouse may have left behind. In Kentucky, debt accumulated during the marriage is treated differently than property acquired during the marriage.

Within the same form, the petitioner must also include fair market value estimates of the decedent's real and personal property. More >
