Portland, OR, July 29, 2026 —
Former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis is facing accusations of attempting to conceal inherited property in an effort to evade a $565,000 judgment awarded to a same-sex couple. The couple was denied a marriage license by Davis in 2015.
According to court filings, the plaintiffs allege that Davis made false statements regarding property transfers. They contend that Davis claimed she had not transferred any property in the past five years. However, the plaintiffs assert that Davis did, in fact, transfer inherited property to family members during that timeframe.
This alleged concealment of assets has prompted the plaintiffs to file a motion with the court. The motion seeks to have Davis held in contempt of court for making these allegedly false statements. Furthermore, the plaintiffs are requesting that the court compel Davis to satisfy the $565,000 judgment, along with accrued legal fees.
The original judgment stems from a case where Davis refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing religious objections. This stance led to a legal battle that ultimately resulted in the judgment against her.
The details regarding the specific inherited properties, the recipients of the transfers, and the exact dates of these transactions were not immediately available. The court has yet to rule on the motion for contempt and to compel payment.
