Status Quo Order

The Kentucky Status Quo Order is a legal order issued by a Kentucky court that orders all parties involved in a lawsuit to remain in the same position as when the case was filed. This order is typically issued when a judge believes that the parties should remain in the same position until a decision is reached or until the court orders otherwise. The Kentucky Status Quo Order will typically be applied to both parties, prohibiting them from taking any action that could potentially change the status of the case. There are two types of Status Quo Orders in Kentucky: a Preliminary Status Quo Order and a Final Status Quo Order. The Preliminary Status Quo Order is issued at the time the lawsuit is filed, while the Final Status Quo Order is issued after a hearing or trial.
