Divorce
At the initial consultation, I met Ruth but I hired the Mr. Hoge, I was assured that she was very knowledgeable and would provide equal representation when required. Twice my ex-wife was held in contempt and Ruth would work for several hours to get an Agreed Order, all were signed, but none were succ...
I make a point to carefully listen to ALL of my clients' concerns. I know how troubling this time can be and because of that I return every client's call and e-mail as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, in this case the former client and I have different perspectives of what specifically occurred. This was a very complex situation with unique circumstances. It is unfortunate that this individual believes his needs were not met, but I am confident that our office did the very best in a situation involving special circumstances.

excellent
Ruth really had my back and was quick to make sure I understood all that was coming at me. Honestly she was that person who truly protected me through the hardest time in my life.

I am a current client. Ruth is very professional and caring. I am still currently a client in a on going case. I would highly recommend her. She keeps you informed of all information.

Child Support
I employed Hoge attorneys ( specifically Ruth Wilkerson ) I was led to believe there was wiggle room in the amount a father had to pay based upon his level of custody that he had with his child. Ruth went straight to the Kentucky calculator and divided the support payment into percentages of our tota...
At our law firm, we try to educate our clients about the law applicable to their case. In this matter, child support and the calculation of child support was at issue. In Kentucky, child support is calculated according to specific statutory guidelines, which does not include debts or net income of the parties. Here’s a link to estimate child support: https://csws.chfs.ky.gov//csws/general/estimatedisclaimer.aspx. In other words, it is irrelevant to the Court if a child support obligee has a large debt or other significant living expenses. Child support is based on gross income first. In order to modify the child support calculation, the Court may consider the parties’ parenting schedule with the issue being that increased parenting time may result in a reduced child support obligation; however, nothing is guaranteed. All this information is explained to every client, but it is ultimately their decision with regard to how the case is handled.
