John Schmidt works with his clients through each step in the process, helping them to understand their options and make sound, informed decisions.
John Schmidt is an experienced lawyer for a Shepherdsville divorce and can help to answer all your questions and protect what is important to you. There are a lot of issues that concern our clients in divorce matters. These include, but are not limited to:
Division of Property, Assets, and Liabilities – Questions about the “equitable” disposition of the family home, cars, retirement and pension accounts, personal property, and investments, as well as the division of debts owed by either or both of the parties.
Child Custody and Visitation – How will physical and legal child custody be divided between the parents? What will the schedule for visitation look like for each parent?
Child Support – How will Kentucky’s guideline child support apply to your unique situation.
Spousal Support / Maintenance – Each divorce is different, and there are several factors that affect whether or not spousal support is appropriate, and if so how long it will last and in what amount.
Retirement Accounts / Pensions – If there are 401k, IRAs, or other retirement or pension-related accounts, there will need to be specific documents and legal instruments to ensure proper division and ultimate disposition of these often substantial financial accounts.
Business Ownership – If you or your spouse own an interest in a business or professional practice, there are several steps required to establish the valuation and marital property portion of that business interest and to make appropriate division in a way that will not harm the ongoing or future operations of the business.
High Income Wage Earners – There are several potential complications in this arena, including self-employment, actual income (versus what is claimed as net income on a tax return), spikes and valleys in income over the past and coming years, as well as calculation of spousal and child support outside of Kentucky guidelines.
