Rule 9 Miscellaneous
901 Identification of Counsel or Party Required. Every pleading, motion, and any other paper filed in the record by counsel or party shall contain the case number, typed or printed name, address, telephone number and email address of the attorney or party signing the document.
902 Protection of Personal Identifiers.
A. The Family Court Case Data Sheet must be fully completed in all cases. In addition, all pleadings must comply with the requirements of KRS Chapters 205, 403, 405, 406 and 407 by providing the personal identifying information required in those chapters. However, except as set forth in paragraph (B) below, where personal identifiers are required by statute or contained in other documents or exhibits filed with the court pursuant to the above-stated chapters, parties shall comply with CR 7.03(1)(b) by filing one copy from which any personal data has been redacted, and filing an un-redacted copy in a marked and sealed envelope. The clerk of the Court shall allow the un-redacted sealed copy of the pleading, document, or exhibit containing personal identifiers to be accessed only by a party to the case, an attorney of record in the case, a judge of the court or other authorized court personnel, a duly authorized employee or agent of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services involved in child support matters attendant to the case, or a person authorized to view the copy by specific orders of the court. As used in this section, “personal identifier” means a Social Security number or taxpayer identification number, date of birth, or financial account number.
B. Pleadings, documents, or exhibits filed in actions deemed confidential by statute need not be redacted, and any access to those files shall be governed by KRS 199.570, KRS 610.340, KRS 625.045, and KRS 625.108.
903 Video Copies of In-Chamber Interviews with Children. Pursuant to FCRPP 27, the Circuit Clerk's Office shall not release any Family Court video of in-chamber interviews with children without a specific written order of the Family Court Judge. An individual requesting a judicial order must provide the Family Court Judge with a written explanation for the request which specifically indicates the portion of the video record being requested is an in-chamber interview with a child, and specific purpose for the request.
904 Requests for Confidential Video Records. The Circuit Clerk's Office shall not release any copies of a Family Court confidential video recording, except as authorized in Paternity actions, without a specific written order from the Family Court Judge. An individual requesting a judicial order must file a written motion, with notice to all parties, including the child's Guardian Ad Litem, if any, and set forth the purpose for the request.
Pursuant to KRS 610.340(2), this shall not apply to public officers or employees engaged in the investigation and prosecution of cases under KRS Chapters 600 through 645 or other prosecutions authorized by the Kentucky Revised Statutes, as certified by the public officer or employee. Said public officer or employee shall use and distribute this information only for investigation or prosecution of offenses under the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
905 Child Timesharing Guidelines and Code of Conduct. The 5th Circuit Family Court Timesharing Guidelines and Code of Conduct are attached hereto as Appendix 2 and 3 for the parties' convenience and discussion. The parties are also referred to the Model Time-Sharing Guidelines incorporated into the Kentucky FCRPP Appendix A. Both sets of guidelines are merely suggestions for the parties' use in attempting to reach a resolution; they do not create a presumption or a mandate of a particular timesharing schedule. The parties are encouraged to reach an agreement that will serve the needs of the family and that will be specific to their case. Because each case presents unique facts and circumstances, the final schedule as agreed by the parties or as established by the Court may or may not contain portions of these models.
906 Additional Assistance. The Family Court Judge and Staff are available and willing to provide information, referrals for services, and additional assistance when possible. However, pursuant to the Kentucky Court of Justice mandates, neither the Court, nor the Family Court Staff, nor the Circuit Clerk, nor any deputy clerk is permitted to provide legal services or advice to litigants.
