The division of complex, valuable assets can be particularly contentious in a divorce. It can be challenging to part with valuable items or those that could take considerable time to rebuild. In Kentucky, the state utilizes equitable distribution when dividing assets. Couples must divide marital property, assets-as well as debts owned jointly-in a fair manner.
In the state of Kentucky, the principle of equitable distribution is followed when it comes to dividing a business, real estate and other property-but only if it's classified as marital property. Although you may own and operate your small or family business, if you created it or assumed ownership while married, it may very well be marital property.

When I finally found Attorney Ruth Wilkerson, I was quite frustrated after having six lawyers not return my phone calls; receiving very unhelpful guidance from another lawyer; and dealing with a very challenging situation in my case. Ruth listened carefully to my story, asked meaningful questions, and responded to my questions and comments with professionalism, honesty, compassion, and a realistic plan. She both told me how she could help me with my case as well as the limits of what she could offer me which set up realistic expectations from the outset.
Ruth is very knowledgeable in the area

My mother contacted attorney Ruth Wilkerson about a family issue recently. Ms. Wilkerson was responsive, compassionate, and professional while answering all of her questions. She took the time to explain our legal options in terms we could both easily understand and I would highly recommend Hoge Partners to anyone in need of family legal services.

In my opinion, never hire Ruth Wilkerson to represent you! If you care anything about your future, she is not the attorney you want. When a person is going through a traumatic situation, such as divorce, they need someone to ask the right questions and fight for their best interest in every way...including financially. She did not. She is very short sighted and does not care enough to understand how divorce decisions can affect them forever. I have sought legal advice from another firm since my divorce and was informed that I was totally misrepresented by Ruth Wilkerson. Unfortunately my divorce

My sister and I were frantic to get any advice on how to deal with her custody situation. We needed advice in a hurry, and Ruth Wilkerson was about the only lawyer who got back to us expeditiously. She was thorough in her advice and listened with empathy. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a good lawyer.

I am not only sharing this review of my experience so that Hoge Partners and Attorney Ruth Wilkerson are acknowledged for work well-done, but as a cautionary tale to any parent of an adult child.
Recently, my adult son had a psychotic break. His father and I rushed him to a facility where was evaluated as a danger to himself and others and admitted for a 72 hour hold, for which we were left in near complete darkness as to his mental state, treatment, medication, etc., because he is an adult and without his consent, we were not allowed access to his status or treatment. Standard stuff there.

I am extremely happy I chose Hoge Partners to represent me. Attorney Ruth Wilkerson went above and beyond. I came in worried and not knowing what to expect, but left satisfied and pleased with my divorce agreement. She answered all of my many questions and I never felt in the dark throughout the process. You would not be disappointed in choosing her as your family law attorney.
