Former Gov. Matt Bevin Is No-Show at Hearing; Ignoring Court Demands
Glenna Bevin and Jonah testified as the judge weighs back-child support and an active contempt warrant remains in place for Matt Bevin.
- Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin failed to appear at a Jefferson Family Court hearing on Tuesday, violating Judge Angela Johnson's order to attend in person, while Glenna Bevin attended regarding their 19-year-old son, Jonah Bevin.
- Jonah Bevin is intervening in the Bevins' ongoing divorce case to seek retroactive support, alleging he suffered physical and mental abuse at a youth facility in Jamaica where his parents abandoned him.
- Judge Johnson issued an arrest warrant for Bevin in June after ruling he failed to provide complete financial disclosures; the Kentucky Court of Appeals denied his petition to block the order.
- Following the hearing, attorneys have 21 days to submit memoranda detailing their final recommendations to the court, after which Judge Johnson will decide if Jonah is entitled to retroactive support.
- Jonah's attorney, Melina Hettiaratchi, argued that intervening as an adult was his only remaining option, asserting parents cannot use his age as a defense after leaving him "out in the cold" as a minor.
