Former Gov. Matt Bevin, his ex-wife Glenna, and their estranged son Jonah have been ordered to appear in person at a court hearing scheduled for July 28, according to WUKY 91.3 FM.

A judge issued the directive requiring the three parties' physical presence at the proceeding, ending the possibility of remote participation for the upcoming hearing. The ruling underscores the judge's determination to have all parties present as the case moves forward.

Details regarding the specific nature of the dispute and the issues being contested in the case were not immediately available. The July 28 hearing represents the next scheduled court appearance in what appears to be a family law matter involving the former governor.

Bevin, a Republican, served as Kentucky's governor from 2015 to 2019. His administration was marked by several controversial decisions, including a mass commutation of sentences in his final days in office.

The in-person requirement may signal the judge's view that the proceedings require direct examination of the parties or that remote appearances have proven insufficient for the court's purposes.
