Unlike some states, Kentucky doesn't have a separate, simplified procedure for uncontested divorce. Either spouse can file the divorce, or the spouses can file jointly.
You or your spouse file a Petition for Dissolution. The person who files the Petition is called the ?Petitioner.? The other person is called the ?Respondent.? Your spouse gets the chance to tell their side of the story. If they agree with what you say, they get to file a response and tell the judge if they agree.
