LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin has until noon Friday to turn over financial records in an ongoing family court case or face arrest and 60 days in jail, according to new court documents.
Jefferson Family Court Judge Angela Johnson issued the order Thursday in the ongoing legal dispute involving Bevin, his ex-wife, Glenna Bevin, and their adopted son, Jonah Bevin.
The order states that Matt Bevin has until noon Friday to provide the requested financial records. If he fails to comply, he will be arrested and incarcerated for 60 days. He would also be required to pay a $500 fine.
Johnson previously ordered Matt Bevin to appear in person for a hearing last week about the case. Instead, Matt Bevin appeared via Zoom, citing property damage at his home in Maine, according to court records.
Johnson held Matt Bevin in contempt and ordered him to either serve 14 days in jail or pay a $250 fine. Court documents show the fine was paid, and a bench warrant issued in the case was later recalled.
This also isn't the first dispute over Matt Bevin's financial records. In March, Matt Bevin was issued a warrant and sentenced to 60 days in jail after a judge found him in contempt of court for failing to disclose financial information. That order was later paused while appellate courts considered Matt Bevin's request to remove Johnson from the case.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals ultimately allowed Johnson to remain on the case.
Jonah Bevin accused his parents of sending him to an abusive boarding school when he was a teenager. He's also made accusations of emotional and physical abuse, and obtained an emergency protective order against Matt Bevin.
Matt Bevin is scheduled to return to court in July.
