Kentucky Court Records

C-Track Public Access, run by the Kentucky Court of Justice, opens appellate cases filed with the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.

The Administrative Office of the Courts sells criminal record reports covering district and circuit court cases in all 120 counties, ordered online through FastCheck. The official court record stays with the circuit court clerk of the county.

Kentucky dissolutions are heard in Circuit Court, by its Family Court division where one exists, and the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in the county of the decree keeps the file. No statute or rule found closes the file. Under Family Court Rule 2(3) the preliminary verified disclosure, AOC-238, is exchanged between the spouses and not filed unless the court or a local rule requires it; the final verified disclosure, AOC-239, is filed before a property trial under Rule 3(3) unless the parties file an affidavit of no changes instead, and nothing found makes it confidential. The decree and any settlement agreement are in the file as well.

The Court of Justice's free Find a Case search gives public case information statewide, and CourtNet 2.0, a subscription for attorneys, shows case details and images of eFilings, with sealed cases excluded and certain documents designated as protected images visible only to the parties. For the paper or electronic file, the Court of Justice directs requests to the circuit court clerk of the county. The Kentucky asset search page explains what the AOC-239 lists.
