I wonder how you can sleep at night with yourself or look your own children in the face each day, after you have destroyed thousands of other people's children. By the way, the son that I had, who you said was better living with his mother rather than being in an equal parenting agreement, I have not seen since the first part of December because of his mother. Am I bitter? No because you will be judged by a higher power some day and the Good Lord holds people like you to a higher stand than those of us on Earth.
Oh, I know what you'll say- take her to court for contempt. Face the facts, after you reduced my income to sub-poverty to feed her frivolous lifestyle which she admitted she perjured herself about to you, I have nothing left to waste on your court where you don't have balls enough to enforce your own orders.
At trial you admitted that you did not know the law that you were elected by the people of this county to adjudicate? Funny, you promised the people of this county would be different if you were elected. What we have gotten is Judy Nicely with a beard. You are what I properly label just another incompetent lawyer with a robe.
You, as Well as I know that I could NOT take sides in a political election because of the 501c3 status that PACE had. I do not have that restriction with NOPE. But mark my words John Quinn and Carol Deszo; I will do what I have to do to make sure both of you are never elected to office again. If that is what it takes to remove your corrupt fanny from the bench, I will more that gladly do it. I do mean corrupt also, as you have played your political games with the wrong person and the wrong kid.
I have done some checking into the standard orders of
visitation in other counties in
The following is Ashtabula County's Standard Order:
Rule 19. STANDARD COMPANIONSHIP ORDER
A. The following standard companionship guidelines will be
applied in all cases unless otherwise ordered:
1. Presumptions:
a.
Shared parenting is in the best interest of the children;
b. Equal division of the available companionship time is
in the best interest of the children;
c. Whenever possible, it is in the best interest of the
children that they be in the care and supervision of a
parent, rather than third persons.
2. The presumptions are rebuttable and may be rebutted by
competent credible evidence.
3. In the event the parties cannot agree upon a companionship
schedule, they shall participate in mediation.
4. If the parties cannot
develop their own companionship schedule through mediation, both parties shall
provide the court with verification of their work schedules and available
companionship times. The court will then assign companionship time, based upon
the presumptions.
B. In the absence of an agreement by
the parties, the court has wide discretion in determining what companionship
schedule is reasonable and in the best interests of the children, and each
judge may develop a uniform fixed schedule of companionship time.
C. Unless the court finds that companionship time should be
restricted, the minimum time afforded to the nonresidential parent shall be as
follows:
Companionship between the child(ren) and the non-residential parent may take place at such
times as the parties may agree, but shall not be less than:
1. Weekends: Alternate weekends from Friday at
2. Weekdays: On Wednesday evening, prior to the weekend
the non-residential parent has companionship, from
The starting time for weekday companionship must be flexible and will
depend upon the work schedule of the non-residential parent and the activity
schedule of the child(ren).
3. Holidays: For companionship there are eight holidays:
(1) New Year's Day;
(2) Easter;
(3) Memorial Day;
(4) July Fourth;
(5) Labor Day;
(6) Thanksgiving;
(7) Christmas Eve;
(8) Christmas Day.
In the odd-numbered years, the mother shall have the child(ren) on the odd-numbered holidays and the father shall have
them on the even-numbered holidays. In the even-numbered years, the father
shall have the odd-numbered holidays and the mother the even-numbered holidays.
Hours for holiday companionship for the non-residential parent shall be from
4. Precedence:
5. Mother's Day, Father's Day: Mother's Day shall be spent
with the mother and Fathers Day spent with the father, regardless of which
parent is entitled to the weekend. Hours for companionship shall be from
6. Child's Birthday: A child's birthday shall always be spent with the mother in odd numbered
years, and with the father in even numbered years. Hours shall be from
7. Extended Summer Companionship: The non-residential
parent shall be entitled to five weeks companionship during the child(ren)'s summer vacation from
school. If the parties cannot agree on the times, the five weeks for the
non-residential parent shall be the last two weeks of June, beginning at
During the child(ren)'s summer vacation from
school, and as part of the five weeks available to the non-residential parent,
the non-residential parent is entitled to two weeks exclusive possessory
vacation time, provided that not less than 30 days prior written notice is
given to the residential parent. Likewise, the residential parent shall also be
entitled to two weeks exclusive possessory vacation time, provided that not
less than 30 days prior written notice is given to the non-residential parent.
8. School Breaks: If the non-residential parent has
companionship on Christmas Day, he/she shall have companionship from
Each parent shall have companionship for one-half of the days the child(ren) are off school for
spring break, which shall alternate according to the Easter Day schedule. When
the non-residential parent has companionship on Easter Day, he/she shall have
the half that includes Easter Day.
9. Cancellation: The non-residential parent shall give the
residential parent at least 48 hours notice if visitation is to be canceled,
unless there is an emergency. Visitation time canceled by the non-residential
parent is forfeited and shall not be made up. Visitation canceled by the
residential parent is not forfeited and shall be made up at the earliest
possible time. (For example, if weekend visitation is canceled by the
residential parent due to illness of a child, it shall be made up on the next
weekend.)
10. Waiting: The child(ren) and residential parent have no duty to await the
visiting parent for more than thirty (30) minutes of the visitation time. A
parent who is late forfeits companionship for that period, unless there is an
emergency.
11. Address and Phone Numbers: Each parent must keep the
other informed of his or her current address and telephone number and an
alternate telephone number in the event of an emergency.
12. Clothing: The residential parent is responsible for
providing sufficient appropriate clothing for every visitation period. All
clothing sent by the residential parent must be returned immediately after the
visitation period.
13. Transportation: The non-residential parent has
responsibility for picking up and returning the child(ren). No person transporting the child(ren) may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
14. Illness or Injury of Child: If a child becomes ill or
injured, warranting the giving of medication or consultation with a doctor or
dentist, each parent must notify the other parent as soon as reasonably
possible.
15. Telephone Access: Both the child(ren) and the parents must be allowed reasonable
communication by telephone at reasonable times, regardless of with whom the
child(ren) are currently residing. If it is the child(ren) calling a parent, the
party with whom the child(ren) are residing at the
time of the call shall bear the expense, unless the child(ren)
are permitted to telephone the other parent collect. If the parties cannot
agree, telephone access shall be at least twice a week during the hours that
the child(ren) are normally
awake.
16. Moving: The residential parent shall not be permitted to move his or her residence from the jurisdiction of the court, without the prior written consent of the non-residential parent, or permission of the court.
I gave you an opportunity to debate this publicly yet you have refused. Now I am challenging to you to change the Summit County Standard order. If you wish to engage in a public debate of the constitutional issues regarding the custody of children and the constitutionality of ORC 3109.04, I am more than willing to do it at the time and place of your choosing. You have already admitted that I know the law better than you do or are you afraid that a layman will make you out to be the threat to society that you two have already proven to be? Let's throw in Best Interest of The Child and make the challenge complete.
I will prepare a list of questions for you and if you do not have the guts to stand up in front of the people that elected you to office and debate this with a layman, I will provide you with space on this site to post your answers.
