The court hearing former Gov. Matt Bevin's ongoing child support case says it has not received enough information to rule on a key matter in the proceedings.

Questions remain about the schooling received by Bevin's estranged son, Jonah.

Jonah has accused his parents of abandoning him at a Jamaican school, which was shut down following allegations of an abusive learning environment. He is seeking financial support to help obtain a valid high school diploma.

But court documents suggest testimony and evidence regarding details of Jonah's previous schooling — including the school's accreditation status, compliance with Kentucky standards, and how much was paid for his education — have been lacking.

The court is seeking a status hearing before allowing the case to advance.
