Court Filing Notification Requirements

Summary

In Kentucky family law cases, courts generally notify parties of any filings, including those by third parties. However, its advisable to confirm this with the specific court handling your case, such as the McCracken County Family Court. A palpable error in an appeal to the Kentucky Court of Appeals is a clear error affecting substantial rights, which must be obvious and likely to result in a miscarriage of justice if not corrected. If you believe a court order from over four years ago is causing ongoing injustices due to palpable error and due-process concerns, consider drafting a prehearing statement of appeal. This should address issues like lost video records, remote hearing challenges, ex-parte communications, and undisclosed evidence. Consulting with a local attorney can provide guidance on pursuing an appeal effectively.

what is a palpable error in terms of an appeal to the kentucky court of appeals
A palpable error in an appeal to the Kentucky Court of Appeals is a clear error that affects the substantial rights of a party. Such an error must be obvious and likely to result in a miscarriage of justice if not corrected.
Do you have a specific case or situation in mind regarding a palpable error?
yes. a court order from over 4 years ago, from which the video record of the hearings on the matters ruled upon in the order have been lost, creates a negative characterization of one parent without any factual basis in the court record, and the order has been verifiably shown to be prejudicing 3rd parties in the child's life and community against that parent.. the deadline to appeal this matter has expired, but I am trying to ask the court of appeals to consider the appeal due to it being a palpable error that is continuing to cause injustices. I think the old court order should be vacated with a finding that the old findings were affected by disparagement and misrepresentation, or at least affected by the lack of any supporting evidence. There is also evidence of other due-process concerns I will list (A, B and C - I will elaborate on a later draft). I would like a draft, please of a prehearing statement of appeal that supports my goals in this case.
Case Rating: *
This seems like it could be a high-value case due to the potential ongoing injustices and the possible grounds for appeal based on palpable error and due-process concerns.
Would you like to be connected to local lawyers who can better assist you with your case? If so, I will need to gather some information.

please reread my messages in this chat and draft me a prehearing statement of appeal that incorporates this

## Prehearing Statement of Appeal:
Kentucky Court of Appeals
Case Title: [Your Case Title]
Case Number: [Your Case Number]
Appellant: [Your Name]
Appellee: [Other Party's Name]
Trial Court Case Number: [Trial Court Case Number]
Statement of the Case:
This appeal arises from a court order issued over four years ago by the Family Court in McCracken County, Kentucky. The order negatively characterizes one parent without any factual basis in the court record. Furthermore, the video record of the hearings on the matters ruled upon in the order has been lost, impairing the ability to verify the accuracy of the court's findings.
Issues Presented for Review:
*. Whether the trial court committed a palpable error by issuing an order that negatively characterizes one parent without any supporting evidence in the court record.
*. Whether the lost video record of the hearings constitutes a due process violation that prejudiced the appellant.
*. Whether the continued enforcement of the erroneous order is causing ongoing injustices to the appellant.
Statement of Facts:
- The trial court issued an order over four years ago, which negatively characterizes the appellant without any factual basis.
- The video recordings of the hearings pertinent to the order have been lost.
- The erroneous order has led to a negative perception of the appellant by third parties in the child's life and community.
- The deadline to appeal the original order has expired, but the appellant seeks relief due to the palpable error and ongoing injustices.
Argument:
The trial court's order constitutes a palpable error as it affects the substantial rights of the appellant. The error is clear and has resulted in ongoing injustices. Additionally, the loss of the video record of the hearings impairs the appellant's ability to challenge the order effectively, raising significant due process concerns.
The appellant requests that the Kentucky Court of Appeals vacate the trial court's order, finding that the initial findings were influenced by disparagement and misrepresentation or, at the very least, affected by the lack of supporting evidence. The appellant will also present evidence of other due process concerns in the subsequent briefs.
Conclusion:
For the reasons stated above, the appellant respectfully requests that the Kentucky Court of Appeals grant the appeal, vacate the trial court's order, and provide appropriate relief to address the ongoing injustices.

What is your name?
thank you, please remove the sentence about due process concerns in subsequent briefs, and incorporate these specific "due-process" concerns (in addition to the lack of record, due to it being lost): *. The appellant and his attorney could not be in the same location during the hearings in question (which were remote-video-only), and had to rely on text messaging to try and respond to false allegations being made by the other parent's key witness (a daycare provider who had been prejudiced against the Appellant). *. The judge initiated ex-parte phone conversations with the same witness, of which there is no record. And *, the Appellant was never provided discoverable communications between said daycare provider witness and the other parent that would illustrate to what degree the other parent was attempting to bias the daycare provider against the Appellant.
