Daugherty v. Telek
Annotate this CaseThe family court granted the petition of Appellant, Samantha Daugherty, and issued a domestic violence order (DVO) against Appellee, John Telek, to remain in effect for three years. Telek appealed. The court of appeals held that the family court lost jurisdiction to issue the DVO because it failed to conduct the DVO hearing within fourteen days after the issuance of an emergency protective order as required by Ky. Rev. Stat. 403.740(4). The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the family court did not lack jurisdiction to issue the DVO and that it properly followed statutory requirements for the issuance of the DVO. Remanded.
