Deadline in Kentucky

In Kentucky, a party generally has 30 days to file a notice of appeal from a final judgment or order. This deadline is set by Kentucky Rule of Civil Procedure 73.02, which governs the timing for initiating an appeal in state court. The 30-day period begins to run from the date the judgment or order is entered, and the rule provides specific exceptions and conditions that may affect when the clock starts. Because the calculation can depend on the procedural posture of the case, the exact application of the rule should be verified against the official text. A worked example below illustrates how the 30-day period operates in a standard scenario. To estimate a specific deadline, users can consult the DocketMath calculator.
