Interpersonal Protective Order

Court:
Court of Appeals
Case Number:

2021-CA-0629-ME

Case Status:
Unpublished Case
Rendered Date:
Summary:

Despite any good intentions in entering the IPO to offer protection after the alleged one-time violent incident as described by the Petitioner, the family court failed to conduct a statutorily required evidentiary hearing before issuing the (non-temporary) IPO. Furthermore, the isolated violent incident alleged in the petition, by itself, did not constitute stalking as defined in Kentucky law. Thus, the IPO entered could not stand. Vacated.
