As a Kentucky resident, if you have a long-term disability, you may be working through your options and trying to figure out which of the U.S. Social Security Administration financial assistance options is best for you. Both help Americans with disabilities get by financially without working. There are key distinctions that exist between the two types of assistance programs.
SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance)
You may ask if you are eligible for benefits? Do you qualify for disability insurance? The U.S. Social Security Administration must determine that your injury is severe enough to meet its strict definition of the term. And you will need to have enough work history. The number of work credits you need to qualify for disability benefits depends on your age when your disability begins. Every year the number of earnings required for a credit increases slightly in line with the rise in average earnings. To get the maximum of 4 credits, which is the annual entitlement you need to earn $6,040 you must have the required work credits to potentially be eligible for benefits.
SSI (Supplemental Security Income)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program that provides monthly payments to people who have limited income and few resources. SSI is for people who are 65 or older, as well as for those of any age, including children, who are blind or have disabilities. Your disability will have to meet the administration definition of the word. However, this type of benefit assistance is available for low-income individuals only.
Filling your disability claim can be an overwhelming and daunting process. More than 60% of Americans have their disability claim denied initially. A lawyer or advocate can fill out the SSDI or SSI application on your behalf and help gather medical records and other evidence for your claim. They can review your application for mistakes or omissions that could hurt your chances of success and can join you for meetings or conferences with Social Security officials. Many people find that they are able to qualify for assistance after they file an appeal.

Kentucky is one of the few states that allows grandparents to sue for visitation if the grandchild lives in an intact family. A court may award a grandparent the same visitation rights as a parent without custody if the grandparent’s child is deceased and the grandparent has provided child support to the grandchild. In all cases, courts examine the best interests of the children. Divorce and separation cause trauma for all family members. With a break up, the level of influence of family members on either side is jeopardized. Especially extended family including grandparents. What are the rights of grandparents involved in the lives of their grandchildren after divorce or separation, as well as the extent to which their rights are enforceable by law if denied by either parent?
Child Visitation
The circuit court may grant reasonable visitation rights to either the paternal or maternal grandparents of a child and issue any necessary orders to enforce the decree if it determines that it is in the best interest of the child to do so: KRS 405.021 Reasonable visitation rights to grandparents. The grandparent asking for court-ordered time has the “burden of proof” (the duty to provide sufficient evidence) to show that visitation is in a child’s best interest. Kentucky courts automatically presume parents act in their child’s best interests and give special weight to their preferences regarding their child’s care. If your grandchild’s parent(s) object to grandparent visitation, you must overcome this “presumption” (legal assumption) by showing that spending time with you serves the child’s best interests. If the court determines grandparents’ future involvement to be in any way harmful to the child’s well being, visitation rights may be denied. Grandparents are entitled to appeal the decision.
Unmarried Fathers and Grandparents’ Rights
If unwed fathers do not legally establish fatherhood by filling out a voluntary declaration of paternity, performing a paternity test, or signing the child’s birth certificate when they are born, they do not have any parental rights. Without one of these facts when the unwed father splits from his child’s mother with his legal paternity unconfirmed, he is not assumed to be the father. Therefore he will not be granted parental rights or given any kind of child custody. In such cases, the same is true for paternal grandparents. If there are no parental rights for the father, there are no rights for paternal grandparents.
What Can Grandparents Do When Barred From Spending Time With Grandchildren?
When grandparents are denied contact with their grandchildren it can be heartbreaking for the grandparents and grandchildren alike. Although suing for visitation rights is a possibility, the most productive approach is resolving family disputes. Maybe mediation could provide an opportunity for resolution. If mediation fails, you can still have legal recourse. Contact a family attorney who understands family issues tend to be personally painful and that legal battles are to be avoided whenever possible. So get some legal advice to solve your visitation problems.

The truth is, marriage is not only a romantic relationship but also a type of business relationship. This dual nature and purpose of marriage have led to the increased acknowledgment that a prenuptial agreement (also called a premarital agreement or prenup, for short) can be useful to protect each spouse’s financial interests. Many engaged couples think it will never be a necessity, the truth of the matter is many marriages fail.
Peace of Mind
With a prenuptial agreement you would have peace of mind that your assets, finances, real estate, and other issues of value which are protected. Prevention is the best defense against a devastating loss.
Gift of Love
Popular culture has us thinking that prenuptial agreements are simply about anticipating a divorce. That is far from the truth the agreements are generally recommended for everyone. They signify a strong way of signifying you care about your future spouse because you want to ensure things are taken care of as thoroughly as possible.
Especially Important to Consider
If a divorce ever becomes your reality, you will thank yourselves for having taken care of a majority of the financial aspect of our marriage ahead of time. Especially if your life includes…
Children from a previous marriage
If either of you has been married before
Either of you has more wealth than the other
Either of you is a business owner
Custody of future children and pets
Hiring a prenup lawyer can make all the difference, not only in reaching an agreement but also in getting it memorialized in a document that will stand up in court. A good lawyer — well, two lawyers, actually — will ensure that a prenup fits everyone’s needs. The law considers marriage a contract between two people. So unless a married couple creates a legally binding agreement that states otherwise, the law in the state where they live will govern their property rights.

If you have been making court ordered child support payments, you are aware of the financial burden that can come along with them. Losing your job can only make paying these payments that much more challenging. Here are a few things your should know…
Can I Have My Child Support Order Modified?
If you are unemployed, you might be eligible to have your payments modified but it is not a guarantee that the court will approve a modification. It is important that you contact your family law attorney immediately if you lost your job and need assistance. You should also know that your eligibility does not excuse you from making from payments right away. You are still legally obligated to make your payments until your order has been officially changed by the court. If you do not make your payments prior to approval, you will still held accountable for those payments even if your modification was approved. You may also be eligible to receive a child support modification if you have not been able to work for an extended period of time as a result of an accident, injury, illness, and/or disability. Regardless, you should still continue to make your child support payments until the court has approved your request for a modification.
Can I Make My Child’s Unemployed Parent Make Their Child Support Payments?
If you have primary custody, you have a few options should your child’s other parent become unemployed. If you need advice, contact an experienced family and child support lawyer to see counsel based on your situation. This will help you avoid going to court and losing payments. You and your co-parent might be able to come to terms without involving a lawyer, if they are only going to be without a job for a short period of time. However, if this does not work and they continue to not make their court order payments, you should immediately contact a family lawyer. They can serve as the middle man to help you negotiate payments and take legal action when necessary.
How Do I Change My Child Support Order?
You should consult with a family lawyer as soon as possible to help you avoid making costly mistakes that only make it that much more difficult to provide for your child. Your family lawyer will work with you to work on a modification at the court that has jurisdiction over you case. If you do not live in the same state or court district as your co-parent, a family lawyer can help you determine which court holds jurisdiction and will be involved in making any modifications to your agreement.
Are Modifications Temporary or Permanent?
Depending on your situation, you can have your child support payments modified either short or long-term. If your crisis includes short-term unemployment, disability, or financial hardship, you should opt for a temporary adjustment. A court may allow several months of modified payments before you have to pay the original agreed upon payments. Should you have a life-altering accident, injury, illness, or are permanently disabled, you may be eligible for a permanent or long-term modification. In this situation, you might need an immediate adjustment so that you can afford medical treatment. Please seek help from an experienced family lawyer immediately.
Does Social Security Income and/or Social Security Disability Impact Child Support?
Social Security Income is not usually included into your total income when a court decided on your child support obligations. This does vary by state so you should get in touch with a family lawyer to find out how your social security income could factor into your child support agreement. Social Security Disability Income is not treated the same as regular or Social Security Income. If you receive Social Security Disability Income, you may be eligible for permanent changes to your child support agreement.

What if you are getting a divorce and you and your spouse have a pet that you both love? Determining who gets custody or the pet in a divorce can be a devastating and emotional decision.
Determining Pet Custody
Laws are designed to protect the best interests of human children in divorce (allowing for shared custody, visitation, and alimony), the laws for pets are intended to benefit the owner instead. Under the law, pets are considered to be personal property, capable of human ownership and control. Courts working under that law only strictly have the authority to award a pet to one owner or the other. To grant shared custody or visitation of the couple’s pets would be exactly the same, in the eyes of the law, as having them trade their television back and forth from one week to the next. If one spouse adopted the pet before marriage, he or she will retain custody of the pet after the divorce. If the couple adopted the pet together after marriage a judge will consider the unique circumstances to make a decision. Things that may affect who gets the pet include…
Who will be living in the family home? – That could be a big factor. Where each spouse will live after the divorce. Will both of you have a nice yard for the dog? The spouse with the larger home may be the judge’s preference to take the pet.
Will one spouse be moving abroad? – Local laws could affect whether you can bring a pet. If one spouse is moving, the judge will probably decide the pet is better suited to live with the other spouse.
Who was the pet’s true caretaker? – Who walked the pet? Who took the pet to the vet? Who shopped for the pet’s food and supplies? Who cleaned up after the pet? He or she may be more likely to receive custody of the pet.
The pet’s best interest – The judge will choose the pet parent and home that is best suited for the pet.
Consider Splitting Dog Custody
Creative pet custody arrangements made by the two of you could be the best decision. Come to your divorce hearing with the decision made by the two of you about your pet’s custody. Be flexible and willing to compromise. Maybe one spouse would agree for the other spouse to have custody to keep the pet anytime that the custodial owner is out of town or has a busy week. Or maybe a friendly “dog share” that allows each plenty of time with their beloved pet, one month on, one month off. Of course, the dog must be an easygoing guy who does fine with all the back-and-forth. With a little foresight, and by keeping the best interests of your pet at heart, you can help make the difficult process of divorce a little bit more bearable for the whole family, and everyone will come out happier in the end.

Debt and divorce go hand-in-hand like peaches and cream, only it’s definitely not so sweet all the time. If you’ve been married for any length of time, it’s almost certain that you and your spouse have some marital debts. How these debts are handled during your divorce can make a big impact on your credit long after the two of you split. Once you say “I do” you are not only blending your life with your partner you are also commingling your finances, your property, and your debt plus the marriage debt such as mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and maybe even student loans. What happens to those debts when you and your spouse split up??
Assigning Debts in Property Division
Equitable distribution is a method of dividing property at the time of divorce. All states except for a handful follow the principles of equitable distribution. Equitable distribution does not mean “equal”; it means that assets acquired during a marriage are subject to distribution. Each spouse is responsible for the debts they incurred before and during the marriage. Even if it was acquired during the marriage the spouse will usually be given the debt they acquired during the marriage. If you and your spouse cannot decide who will be responsible for paying certain debts the judge can divide the debt on your behalf. In Kentucky, divorcing spouses are less likely to incur their spouse’s debt than in states that do not have equitable distribution. However, there is always a but you could still be saddled with your spouse’s debt.
Taking on Your Ex’s Debt
When two people apply for credit together, each is responsible for repaying the debt. This is true even if your divorce decree assigns the debt to your spouse. If an account goes into default due to non-payment, both spouses will be held liable since creditors are not bound by a divorce decree. On top of that, your credit score will drop, which will make getting credit in the future harder.
Protect Yourself From Your Spouse’s Debt
Consider closing joint accounts that were opened in both of your names, as well as removing your spouse as an authorized user on your own accounts. You can also ask the creditor to convert these accounts to individual accounts. Since creditors aren’t obligated to convert such accounts, you may need to apply for credit on an individual basis. The creditor will then extend or deny you credit based on your new application. Refinance the debt to ensure it is solely your spouse’s legal responsibility. If you had a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement that would help.
Equitable distribution works from an assumption that the marriage is an economic unit and that what the spouse acquired during the marriage is subject to distribution — regardless of need.

If the accident wasn’t your fault, having an official police report will help you hold the other driver accountable for damages and repair costs. Don’t try to work out reparations with the other driver on your own, even if the other driver doesn’t want to involve the police or insurance companies. When a car accident leads to serious injuries for drivers and passengers, and the damage to the vehicles involved, the memory of that incident can linger for years if not decades. When another party caused the accident you were involved in, there may come a time when you need to focus on proving liability.
Proving Liability After a Car Accident
You may have to be involved in a personal injury lawsuit and prove the following…
The driver had a duty to exercise reasonable caution on the road.
The driver was negligent and did not fulfill that duty to exercise reasonable care when driving.
The driver’s negligence was the cause of the wreck.
Many may think this is a simple concept, but in some cases, the facts may not be as clear as we would like. Those immediate facts gathered after the accident are crucial.
Gathering the Facts
A police officer’s detailed impressions and the information from those involved and by a few witnesses can be one of the most important pieces of information that lead to the car accident. Also if there are any photographs of the accident scene that would be significant. Medical records can also be vastly important. Proving liability in the personal injury lawsuit based on the car accident information is the same as all legal cases… evidence.
What Does No-Fault Mean?
In Kentucky a no-fault state, each driver turns to their auto insurance for coverage for medical expenses no matter who caused the crash The guiding principle of no-fault law is that all drivers are required by law to insure themselves against potential injuries and damages caused by an auto accident. As a result, if you have been injured in an auto accident in a no-fault state, your first and legally preferred source of recovery is your own insurance company.
When Can You File Suit?
Only if certain statutorily specified conditions are met, may you file suit against another party in an attempt to recover damages. No-fault states have instituted an economic threshold for bringing suit. They cap the amount of money your insurance company is obligated to pay, and if your economic damages exceed (or most likely will exceed) the cap, you may file suit to recover from another party. Economic thresholds are far easier to analyze and estimate than physical injury thresholds. While no-fault laws are restrictive, they do serve a purpose. If you sustain minor injuries or simply total your vehicle with no injury at all, you are covered by your own insurance. An insurance claim is usually far less adversarial than a lawsuit. You can only step outside the no-fault system — and file a liability claim or lawsuit against the at-fault driver — if your accident resulted in “serious injuries.”

Workers’ Comp and Disability Benefits are both forms of insurance injured workers can count on. Suffering an injury can suddenly change your life. The uncertainty and stress you can face wondering how you will support your family and pay bills can be overwhelming. Thankfully Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability are two forms of government insurance to help. The question is which system is best for you. We would like to help you understand the differences.
A State-Run System: Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation insurance provides medical and wage benefits to people who are injured or become ill at work. The coverage is mandated by each state and the wage and medical benefits vary by state. Workers’ compensation is considered social insurance because it relies on a social contract between management and labor, wherein in exchange for purchasing workers’ compensation insurance, business owners are protected from civil suits from their workers who become injured on the job. Yet each party’s benefits have limitations. Workers’ compensation insurance is purchased by businesses, and is underwritten by insurance companies and, in some states, is underwritten by publicly supported state funds. In the State of Kentucky, the law requires employers to have workers’ compensation. It covers both total and partial disability, although it is often meant to provide temporary support to workers while they recover. It covers an employee’s lost wages, medical bills relating to the work injury, and any
rehabilitation needed.
A Federal Run System: Social Security Disability Insurance
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal social insurance program under which workers earn coverage for benefits, by working and paying Social Security taxes on their earnings. For those who can no longer work due to a disability, your disability program is there to replace some of your lost income. The disability does not have to be work-related. However, it must meet the Social Security Administration’s list of qualifying impairments. SSDI is a long-term program. One of the qualifying factors to receive SSDI is the injury must prevent you from working for at least one year. It will provide supplemental wages while you cannot work.
The Difference Between The Two Forms of Insurance…
The difference between the worker compensation is if you are hurt at work you are entitled to coverage but with SSDI you must qualify for benefits. Both systems are quite complex and require an experienced attorney to speak for you. If you have been injured at work or elsewhere it’s important to know your rights and speak to a knowledgeable attorney about your case. You need to know how to move forward and protect your rights. You may even be able to receive both Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits if you qualify for both disability benefits and workers’ compensation. In addition to advising you (regarding when you should apply for each type of benefit), an attorney can also help structure your claims (and, if necessary, your appeals) for both programs in a way that is most likely to be accepted.
We Can Help You Through It All!
The Social Security Disability Act allows monetary support to those who are unable to maintain substantial “gainful employment” due to mental and/or physical disabilities prior to retirement age. For those who have had a strong work history up until their illness rendered them unable to work, they may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits. This is a monthly payment based on your past income and varies from person to person. For those who do not have a strong work history or did not work in a job that paid Social Security taxes, there are Social Security Income benefits. Parties who apply for either of these benefits are often denied the first few rounds and do not receive approval until there is a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The process of obtaining benefits can take several months up to two years – or even longer. The key for a claimant is that medical records document their condition and that they maintain a strong treatment history. While the ALJ will consider the testimony of the claimant, they will not approve benefits without the medical evidence supporting those claims. It is imperative that a claimant maintains consistent treatment with all physical and mental health providers. We will not charge any up-front fees to a Social Security/Disability client. Only if Social Security Disability benefits are granted will a standard percentage of the benefits be paid to the attorney.

If you are suffering from Bipolar Disorder and are no longer able to work, you should contact an attorney specializing in Social Security Disability to improve your chances of receiving SSDI or SSI benefits. Historically known as Manic Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder is a mental illness characterized by cyclic mania or periods of extreme euphoria followed by bouts of severe depression. This mental disorder is not a mood disorder alone, but a category of severe mood disorders. It is a condition that is prevalent in both men and women.
Assessment of Bipolar Disorder
If an individual Bipolar Disorder is constant and impairs all ability to function in a work environment, that person may be entitled to Social Security Disability Benefits. Any individual with Bipolar Disorder can be eligible for disability benefits if he/she meets the evaluation criteria listed in the Social Security Administration Bluebook, and if he/she has received a medical-vocational disability endorsement based on the person’s residual function ability, education, and age. Applying for disability benefits with a Bipolar Disorder diagnosis can be a complex and intimidating process, hiring a qualified Social Security Disability lawyer or disability advocate would be in their best interest.
How To Prove Bipolar Disability?
You will need a statement from your treating doctor or a psychologist regarding the severity of your Bipolar Disorder. For example, your doctor might give an opinion that you would miss several days of work each month due to your condition. Make sure the doctor explains this opinion. You should strive to keep a consistent treatment regimen before and during the Social Security Disability application process. If your SSDI/SSI application is denied, you should be prepared to file a disability appeal. In many cases, a Social Security Disability lawyer or advocate can provide invaluable help by guiding you through the application and appeals process. A person with bipolar disorder can qualify for SSDI benefits because it is included in the SSA’s listing of impairments.

Did you know that the majority of Social Security disability claims are denied the first time? That is why it is important that those who have had their claim for Social Security disability benefits denied to fully understand their right to appeal and how to do so. Social Security disability benefits are offered to those who are disabled and have a medical condition that is severe enough that it leaves them unable to work AND that is anticipated to last longer than 12 months or lead to their death. There are also specific work history eligibility requirements that must be met. If your application for benefits has been denied, the appeals process has a few levels of appeals. They are as follows…
#1: A Request for Reconsideration
Filing a request for reconsideration requires fresh eyes on your application for Social Security disability benefits. A new reviewer will look over your entire application for benefits from the beginning including all your medical records and other required documents.
#2: An Administrative Law Hearing
If your application is still denied after your request for reconsideration, your next step is in the appeals process. This will involve a hearing before an administrative law judge. As an disabled applicant, you need to make sure you are adequately prepared for this hearing.
#3: Social Security Administration (SSA) Appeals Council Review
If your claim for Social Security disability benefits was denied by the administrative law judge, you can request that your application is reviewed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) Appeals Council.
#4: Time to File a Court Appeal
Your final level of appeal is to file an appeal in a federal court.
As a disabled applicant filing for Social Security disability benefits, you should not be discouraged by your initial claim for benefits being denied– majority of them are. But you should understand the process of Social Security disability appeals and what options are readily available to you so that you can get the benefits you need to live your life.
