Atlanta, GA, July 29, 2026 —

Former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis is the subject of a new motion seeking to hold her in contempt of court. The motion stems from allegations that Davis has failed to satisfy a $565,000 civil rights judgment awarded to a same-sex couple.

The lawsuit filed against Davis claims that she allegedly transferred inherited property to family members. The purpose of this alleged transfer, according to the lawsuit, was to avoid fulfilling the judgment. Additionally, the legal action states that Davis provided false information in interrogatories. Specifically, it is alleged that she falsely stated she had not made any significant property transfers within the last five years.

Details regarding the specific court where the contempt motion was filed, the date of the filing, or the timeline for any upcoming hearings were not immediately available.

The original civil rights judgment was awarded to a same-sex couple. The specific details of the original lawsuit that led to the judgment were not provided in the available information.

The contempt motion seeks to compel Davis to address the outstanding judgment and the alleged actions taken to circumvent payment. The outcome of this motion, including any potential penalties or orders from the court, remains to be seen.
