Kim Davis accused of hiding assets as plaintiffs seek to collect $565K same-sex marriage judgment
LEX18 ^ | 7/30/2026

Posted on 07/30/2026 10:12:24 AM PDT by Republican Wildcat

(LEX NEWS) β€” Former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis is facing new allegations in federal court that she provided false sworn answers while creditors attempted to collect on a judgment exceeding $565,000 stemming from the high-profile same-sex marriage case that drew national attention nearly a decade ago.

In a motion filed July 28, attorneys for plaintiffs David Ermold and David Moore allege Davis falsely stated under oath that she owned no property and had not made significant transfers of personal assets.

The filing contends public records show Davis inherited interests in multiple parcels of real estate and later transferred those assets to relatives and a family trust without receiving monetary compensation.

According to the motion, the properties were transferred to family members, including Davis' husband, son and brother, as well as a trust established for family beneficiaries.

The filing alleges the transfers occurred after appellate courts upheld the judgment against Davis and while collection efforts were ongoing.

I still don't understand how these people were awarded anything other than the cost of a tank of gas to drive to the next county clerk's office - and it wouldn't have even been a full tank if even a quarter of a tank or even less - look at how small Kentucky's counties are.

What the nation needs right now is a vigilante that will just kill troublemaking Queers when they start some sh*t with normal people.

And the Antifa types as well.

Wouldn’t she has some sort of immunity as a government employee?

And yes, it is ridiculous to get a monetary award for anything

If this was done correctly, they cannot touch the property.

Could possibly have been done legally with a disclaimer of inheritance. I’ve used these in estate planning to transfer life insurance from the spouse to the secondary beneficiary, back when the federal estate taxable estate started at $600K.

It stops the heaping of assets in the surviving spouses estate. Can also be used to avoid money going to Medicaid recapture rules where medical bills, including nursing homes, would take the money.

The qualified disclaimer must be executed within nine months of the original owner’s death, ensuring you never accept the asset or choose who receives it.

Key Rules for a Qualified Disclaimer

Written and Signed: Must be a clear, permanent, and unconditional refusal in writing.

Time Limit: Must be delivered to the estate representative or financial institution within 9 months.

No Control: You cannot pick who gets the property next; it must pass naturally according to the original will, trust, or state law (treating you as if you died before the owner).

Zero Benefit: You cannot accept any income, gifts, or use of the property before disclaiming it

You also cannot be insolvent when you execute the document, and states vary on how far back they look for insolvency prior to the disclaimer.

That's exactly what they want.

I don't understand it at all - as it seems the only damages they could have incurred was delaying them having to spend money on gas and losing around a half hour tops to get to the next clerk's office. That is all they should have been awarded - a tank of gas and maybe the cost of a nice steak dinner for the loss of time. Did her attorneys not make that case in the trial?

Unless you are under 18, or I am reading these laws and regulations wrong, this can be done at any county clerk's office in Kentucky, as it is a state, not county, license. Clerks offices just administer the process. https://marriagelaws.org/ky-marriage-license

Might be true in your state, but not true in most states.

A disclaimer of inheritance can be used to prevent creditors from gettingthe disclaimed assets as they are never in the bankruptcy.

Alternatively, a testator might setup a testamentary trust that contains a spendthrift trust provision thereby precluding any such inheritance from ever coming into a bankruptcy estate.

In America, Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama and his Legion of Goats 🐐🐐🐐 work openly and by stealth (USAID for example) to accomplish Satan's Agenda of turning the whole world 🌍🌏🌎 into a 2SLGBTQ+ Version of Sodom and Gomorrah from Genesis chapter 19.

Yes. Violence would only generate sympathy and

Cities should paint over Pride Flag πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ “Transgender” Flag πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ propaganda on city property.

Churches should teach Sound Doctrine.

“Transgender” Mutilation of those 18 and under should be OUTLAWED.

You can be insolvent, as long as you have not filed bankruptcy as the bankruptcy trustee is the person to make or reject the disclaimer.

You could also disclaim any possible inheritance before the person dies. Once he dies, you can’t retroactively change the will or disclaim the inheritance.

Bankruptcy And Inheritance

Section 541(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that property of the bankruptcy estate includes:

β€œAny interest in property that would have been property of the estate if such interest had been an interest of the debtor on the date of the filing of the petition, and that the debtor acquires or becomes entitled to acquire within 180 days after such date –

The Left will never relent on ‘punishing’ Conservatives. They will hound us to the ends of the earth.

Conservatives will mostly live and let live.

Has any Conservative ever gotten money from a leftist? Maybe just President Trump. Do Leftists get money from Conservatives and government? All the time.

Protecting assets is a game between lawyers who want their fees. And maybe judges that want to punish their ideological enemies.

Trusts and LLCs, established before adjudication, should be rock solid protection. I hope people have good lawyers to protect their ASSets.
