Georgetown KY Divorce Attorney
Experienced family law attorney serving Georgetown and Scott County with compassionate, professional legal representation
Georgetown & Scott County Family Law Services
Serving Georgetown's Growing Community
Georgetown isn't the small town it used to be. With Toyota and the growth along the I-75 corridor, Scott County has become one of the fastest-growing areas in Kentucky. That growth brings opportunity, but it also means family law cases here often involve complex employment situations—shift work at the plant, relocation issues, and custody schedules that need to account for parents working different hours.
Whether you're dealing with a divorce, child custody, or child support matter in Scott County, we can meet with you in person at our Paris office (about 20 minutes away) or handle consultations virtually if that works better with your schedule. First consultation is always free.

Scott County Family Court Process
Your divorce case will be heard in Scott County Circuit Court, located in downtown Georgetown on Main Street. The court handles dozens of family law cases every week—from straightforward uncontested divorces to complicated custody battles. No matter how complex your situation, Kentucky law requires at least a 60-day waiting period from the time you file until your divorce can be finalized. If you and your spouse can agree on the major issues (property division, custody, support), the process usually wraps up in a few months. If not, it can take longer.
Georgetown's proximity to Lexington means we sometimes see cases involving UK employees or people who work in Fayette County but live in Scott County. These situations can add jurisdiction questions and complicate custody schedules, but they're manageable with the right planning.
