Overview
- A lawsuit filed this month in Rowan Circuit Court accuses former Rowan County clerk Kim Davis of conveying three parcels she inherited to family members to keep the land out of reach of a roughly $560,000 federal civil‑rights judgment.
- Plaintiffs say Davis inherited the three parcels after her mother’s 2025 death and that the properties are worth more than $400,000 in total, with deeds showing transfers to her husband, son, brother and sister‑in‑law.
- The complaint says plaintiffs discovered the transfers after Davis answered written interrogatories in late 2025 denying any property transfers over $2,000 in the prior five years and that recorded deeds show conveyances eight to nine months earlier.
- Ermold and Moore’s attorneys seek to void the transfers, place liens on the parcels and recover the judgment through settlement or court enforcement, while Liberty Counsel, Davis’ former legal team, says she provided documents and answered questions truthfully.
- The dispute continues a decade‑long legal saga that began when Davis refused to issue same‑sex marriage licenses in 2015 and culminated in a 2023 federal jury award; a Rowan County court will now decide whether the transfers are fraudulent and how the judgment will be collected.
