Does Anyone Know Where I Can Find the Proper Format to File a Motion to Vacate a Plea in Kentucky?

Question by Chinesa: Does anyone know where i can find the proper format to file a motion to vacate a plea in kentucky?
I am working to have a felony drug offense possibly expunged or sealed in kentucky. I was told that I may first want to file a motion to vacate the plea but it has been 5 years as of july. So I also need to know if anyone knows the statute of limitations regarding the time limit to file the motion to vacate as well. The case involved domestic violence with me being the victim and ended with a trafficking charge due to me not being willing to testify against my abuser. I am currently enrolled in a criminal justice program and will graduate in June ’07 but cannot enter the field with my charge. Ky has a 5 year wait for expungements after all time is served. For me that will not be completed til Oct ’06. I really want to be able to help other women who have been abused and would appreciate any assistance in this matter.

Good question. But can’t you ask your instructor?

If that won’t work I’d contact the Office of the Clerk of Courts in the county in which you were charged, their legal aid source, or spend the money for legal advice from an attorney there to get the right answer. It would seem to be worth it, considering the consequences of not doing it properly and expeditiously. Your graduation is only ten months away.

Good luck
