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.

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.
