When your case requires court appearances, having your attorney's office this close makes everything easier.

Paris is horse country, and Bourbon County has its own rhythm—from the thoroughbred farms out on the Cynthiana Pike to the Friday night lights at Bourbon County High School. We know this community because we're part of it.

What to Expect with Family Law in Bourbon County

If you're facing a divorce or custody issue in Paris, your case will be handled in the Bourbon County Circuit Court—that's the courthouse on Main Street. The judges who hear family law cases in Bourbon County see the same issues you're dealing with every day: working parents trying to balance custody schedules, property division involving family farms or businesses, and everything in between.

Kentucky law requires a 60-day waiting period for all divorces, so even if you and your spouse agree on everything, the process takes at least two months from filing to finalization. If there are disagreements about custody or property, it can take longer. Having an attorney who's familiar with how things work in Bourbon County—and who can walk over to the courthouse with you when needed—makes a real difference.

Being right across from the courthouse means we can meet with you before a hearing, walk over together, and be back at the office afterward to go over what happened. It's a small thing, but it matters when you're already stressed about your case.
