Appendix D Jurisdiction for status offenses and IPO actions
Currentness
1. Given the concurrent jurisdiction of status offenses and IPOs as set forth in the Kentucky Revised Statute, the Judges of Webster Circuit and District courts have resolved the assignment of these actions to the dockets of the Family Court and District Court.
(a) Family Court will have primary jurisdiction of any Petition requesting an EPO/IPO between dating persons pursuant to KRS Chapter 456.
(b) District Court will have primary jurisdiction of any Petition alleging a status offense by a juvenile pursuant to KRS Chapter 630 due to the increased caseload and actions involving juvenile status offenders.
2. If, because of emergency or conflict, the Court assigned primary jurisdiction is unable to hear the case, the other Court, having concurrent jurisdiction may preside over the case.
