Kim Davis Faces Accusation of Hiding Inheritance to Avoid Paying Same-Sex Couple $565K Judgment
Attorneys say she moved inherited homes and a farm parcel to relatives and a trust after a federal appeals court upheld the judgment, court records show.
- On Tuesday, a motion was filed to hold former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in contempt of court for failing to pay a $565,000 civil rights judgment.
- The judgment stems from Davis's 2015 refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses; David Ermold and David Moore successfully sued her and were awarded damages in 2023.
- Attorney Michael Gartland alleges Davis transferred inherited assets exceeding $400,000 to family members while falsely claiming under oath she owned no property or held any trust interest.
- Records show Davis inherited a half-share of a $735,230 estate in January 2025 and transferred properties for 'no monetary consideration,' contradicting her sworn responses about transfers exceeding $2,000.
- Plaintiffs now seek to void the transfers and place judgment liens on the properties, with Gartland calling this "the best fraudulent transfer case" he has handled.
