Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin Sentenced for Contempt in Divorce Case
Matt Bevin was sentenced to 60 days in jail and fined $500 for contempt after failing to provide court-ordered financial records in a family court dispute.
- On Tuesday, Jefferson County Family Court Judge Angela Johnson sentenced former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin to 60 days in jail or a $500 fine after finding him in contempt of court for failing to disclose financial records.
- The contempt ruling followed Bevin's failure to comply with a March 10 order requiring him to provide unredacted financial documents for a child support case involving his adopted son, Jonah Bevin.
- Bevin argued that additional disclosures, including a 31% stake in Neuronetrix Solutions, were not germane, but Judge Johnson rejected his claims, stating that "every litigant in the commonwealth has to provide such information."
- Although ordered to appear in person, Bevin attended via Zoom from an undisclosed location, claiming he was returning from an out-of-state funeral, prompting the judge to issue an arrest warrant.
- A family court trial regarding the child support matter remains scheduled for March 27, though Judge Johnson denied Bevin's recent motion to recuse her from the proceedings.
