About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Oldham County Family Court

The term probate court is a common term loosely referring to the probate division located within a state or county courthouse. In the state of Kentucky, the District Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Oldham County Family Court is listed as a registered probate court within Oldham County, Kentucky.

In most instances within Kentucky, there is at least one District Court courthouse location within each county. Sometimes a county may have multiple courthouses and may also have multiple probate court locations. Such is often the case in larger metropolis counties where population is dense or also in spread-out, rural counties, which may use a courthouse annex or satellite office system to accommodate nearby citizens with easier access in proximity or distance.

About visiting the probate court

Who to speak with when visiting the Oldham County probate court

Upon visiting the Oldham County Family Court, look for signs or directions to the probate division within the main courthouse. Once you’ve located the probate division, make your way to any reception desks and ask to speak with a probate clerk or probate judge. The probate clerk at Oldham County Family Court may or may not require appointments based upon the busyness of the probate court, so it’s a great idea to call ahead.

Plan ahead to be early in case available parking is limited and be prepared for formal security measures upon entering the building, as courthouses are official state and federal property. This generally includes passing through metal detectors and allowing search of any belongings.

Many courthouses do not allow cell phones, so keep that in mind as your phone may need to be turned off upon entering the courthouse, or even left outside.
Infographic reminder to bring cash, government issued ID, death certificate and relevant last will & testament documents when visiting probate court.

Judge Goodwin looked over my sons birth certificate the day his mother tried to give custody to her mother and didnt see he had a dad.... who was actively involved in his life. Becauae the grandmother lied and said I was not. She awarded the grandmother custody, without my REQUIRED SIGNATURE AND PERMISSION per ky due process for granting gaurdianship. ULTIMATELY ENDED WITH ME NEVER SEEING MY SON AGAIN AND A $100,000 DEBT. SHE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMMEDIATELY RECTIFY HER DECISION AND INSTEAD RECUSED HERSELF because she had the mother in law arrested and imprisoned for 2 days for PURGURY 10 YEARS PRIOR IN A LITITAGATION WHEN SHE WAS THE OPPOSING ATTORNEY!!!! AND LIKE I SAID I NEVER HAVE SEEN HIM AGAIN AND IM OUT 40 GRAND AND AN 80K DEBT TO ATTORNEYS!!!!!!! OH AND THE MOTHER IN LAW ONA COLLETTE HULL BESIDES LYING IN COURT 10 YEARS PRIOR(PROVEN WITH CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR THE PURGURY)LYING IN COURT GET ILLEGAL GUARDIANSHIP OF MY SON(WHICH SPECIFICALLY VIOLATES KENTUCKY PENAL CODE FOR CLASS D FELONY CUSTODIAL INTERFERENCE, AND MORE PURGURY OFCOURSE) LIED AGAIN IN HER DEPOSITION AND TO THE JUDGES FACE AND SAID HER KIDS WERENT TAKEN FROM CPS.... THATS RIGHT BESIDES EVERYTHING ELSE SHE LOST CUSTODY OF HER OLDEST DAUGHTER 1 TIME AND YOUNGEST DAUGHTER 2 TIMES....
