Blowing the whistle on domestic (family) court
1) Judges are elected and can now receive unlimited campaign contributions, vacations and gifts, the vast majority coming from the lawyers and "family" law firms they are ment to be judging objectively.
2) All records are "sealed" so judges and courts have zero accountability to anyone other than their own club of lawyers (bar association) and of course the very people that paid to to get them where they are.
The Ohio bar association has co-opted the domestic court system and made it their own $billion/year revenue generating stream. The judges profit from kickbacks in the form of campaign contributions every four years from the very attorneys they are supposed to be judging against This is not just the appearance of corruption it is a system built on corruption.
This means the judges only incentive is to judge in a way that is most in line with their best interest. In practice this means that what little data we have shows that almost every time the judge finds in favor of whichever attorney donated the most money to his campaign and is why unlike states around it that have 50/50 default custody Ohio remains 100% default custody to the mother in over 85% of divorces and with sole custody to just one parent.
This has been going on for the better part of 20 years and continues for one simple reason despite it being a horrible in every way, the judges are getting paid off.
I'm blowing the whistle, working on websites, printing signs, sending out mailers, court watching and taking notes on these corrupt attorneys, doing anything and everything I can to get the word out that the Franklin County Ohio domestic court system in particularly has been corrupted by a small group of judges, mainly Judge James Brown. I'm doing everything I can to get the word out about these evil and corrupt judges, the biggest hurdle seems to be how much money they are making and that people believe that once a lawyer gets rich and powerful enough they're uncorruptible, which is the exact opposite of the truth. The judges are the ones running a corrupt, pay to play, system of kickbacks with themselves at the top. The judges are the top lawyers and the lawyers are pieces of shit.
They are literally horse trading children like they're chips at the casino and what they've done to a generation of young people and millennial fathers is pure evil.
How is the biggest affect of judges corruptly ruling in favor of attorneys that contributed to their campaigns that default custody tends to go 100% to moms?
Default custody is what happens when one side fails to file their claim before the deadline. How is that possibly affected by judicial corruption?
If the judges are always ruling in favor of lawyers that donate more to them, how are mothers always winning? Are they just that much better at choosing the lawyers that donated correctly?
>what they've done to a generation of young people and millennial fathers is pure evil.
Again, is the bias anti-father, or is it financially motivated? Naively, before the divorce proceedings play out, I would expect the fathers to on average have access to more money and be more able to afford the expensive corrupt lawyers. The mechanisms your claiming don't really make sense, and seem to contradict one another.
Perhaps child support/alimony money is expected to be higher than what the father would be willing to pay without a court order.
> If the judges are always ruling in favor of lawyers that donate more to them, how are mothers always winning? Are they just that much better at choosing the lawyers that donated correctly?
Marketing seems an obvious answer here. The lawyers that donate more to judges know that they will gain more from the winning mothers (or rather, their ex-husbands) so they market their services more aggressively/exclusively to women.
> How is the biggest affect of judges corruptly ruling in favor of attorneys that contributed to their campaigns that default custody tends to go 100% to moms?
Sticking with the corruption theme, there could be additional hoops that fathers are required to jump through which mothers simply aren't. Mothers could additionally be given extra leniency for mistakes where any mistake by the father is likely to render default custody.
(Not that I have any evidence that these things occur, just that they seem to be plausible explanations.)
Dude, we're actually supportive of you blowing the whistle if something is wrong, but AI-generated content that doesn't even speak to your concerns about judges (it just throws scores up with zero context) is a far cry from proving allegations of corruption.
I have no idea what OP is talking about, but if there is something out of whack from the regs, my recommendation is to cite sources and events and contrast them with the regulations.
Like you, I have no idea whether it's true...
Domestic judges are elected positions that can and do solicit campaign contributions from local attorneys.
At the end of that campaign extra funds can and do end up in the pockets of the judges themselves. This is equivalent to lawyers directly paying off the judges.
The way an attorney described it to me is that every attorney worth their salt immediately starts making the maximum contributions to every judge on the bench every 4 years.
What "regs" do you need to show this? My guess though is that you do know the truth, you are an attorney and your comment is just trying to distract from what's going on.
You need to cite evidence and cite the laws that support your complaint. Otherwise you just sound like you are angrily ranting.
I'm not trying to distract, I gave you a link to all the info to help you cite your sources. I'm encouraging you to put together a cohesive argument to support your claims so you have an opportunity to prove what you are trying to say. If you choose not to do so, that is on you.
The system is stacked against them and its best to avoid the whole mess to begin with.
Whatever personal policy resulted in expressing this idea is not only broken for you but it's literally tearing everything else apart. You should try to figure out what that is or avoid posting about this topic.
You sound super smart ;)
I know I'm doing my part to tell every young man I know to not have kids in the state of Ohio until they fix this evil and broken system.
My son has told me something similar, that he would never get married or have kids just because he's seen how stupid this whole thing is but I'm sure there's a lot like him :-(
