Judge Mary Kovack & Mary Beth Corrigan biased & dishonest cheated inconsiderate only cares about herself ripoffs Medina Ohio

Christina,

 I am curious who is the mother's attorney?  Are his initials DM or KA?  I am also a victim of this Judge and have gone broke on what is a simple case.  I have an attorney with 25 years on the Domestic Bench for Cleveland as well as he served for a few years on the Ohio Supreme Court.  He has been overwhelmed with what he has seen from this court.  The Magistrate Owens actually re-wrote R.C. 3109.04 and added a line to it to justify her ruling.  A law that was in both counsel's legal briefs and worded correctly.  The trial was set for the only week my original attorney was out of town.  When I called Medina Attorney's to find someone that was available for the trial I was told to bring in someone from out of Medina who would not be afraid to rock the boat.  The Magistrate didn't seem to read our legal brief at all.  So, we have a Magistrate that basically read the opposing counsels brief and changed Ohio law to rule for the Mother.  I was told by an Attorney in Medina that Magistrate Owens will have to rule for the father in one of his cases and Jackie Owens has been sitting on it for almost 18 months.  She refuses to rule for the father.  2nd, Rule 53 that is set by the State of Ohio says that both parties get 15 days to object to a Magistrate's decision before the Judge can sign off on it.  Judge Kovack signed off on it within 2 hours not allowing us to object to the ruling.  

I am only trying to be the Residential Parent for School Purposes.  My ex moved in with her BF and she was the RP since he was 2.  He is now 8.   His mother works 31 seconds from the day care he has attended since he was 3 years old.  They have been my co-parent in raising him.  They have actually spent more time with him as my ex-wife.  She works 1 min and 12 seconds and now lives 11 mins from MCS elementary that he attended.  It is more of an inconvience for her to have him in the new school but she has used him as a pawn from the beginning 6 years ago.  My wife and I purchased a home that has his bedroom looking into his old bedroom where is mom lived for 2 years before she moved in with her boyfriend.  What I was asking for only gave me a title to keep my son stable.  We have split custody down the middle, I volunteered and taught math every other Monday at his old school, helped with class parties and field trips.  I am a Modern Dad and this Judge and Magistrate has broken my son's heart.  He had a closed chamber meeting with Magistrate and was ruled competent and addemant that he remain at his day care and elementary school.  In our legal briefs we stated we have a residence within 500 feet of his home where his mother lived.  We then decided to sweetent the deal and send in an addendum to the original legal brief all the closing papers and deed to the Magistrate.  My wife and I moved our lives for my son.  He is the kindest and sweetest young man you will ever meet and deserves to be happy.   This magistrate actually rewrote the law and state if I am awarded this title the child would have to attend the school district I used to live in?? So she will uphold the previous order when he was 2.  Even if I hadn't bought a home, Medina City Schools allows up to 90 days to move into the district after enrollment.  So how is that the case but we actually BOUGHT a home before school started and he was still enrolled in that MCS  2 weeks before she made her ruling.  Since the Judge violated Rule 53 we didn't even get a chance to object.  So we filed the appeal.  Then the Judge sent us a letter stating a hearing 60 days out, that held up our 9th district appeal.  We all showed up yesterday and since we filed an appeal she won't hear our case.  Our attorney asked to speak to the Judge and the baliff was rude and said no she isn't talking to you.  This is a former Ohio Supreme Court Justice, they still have to call him your honor!  

I am now still dealing with my son crying once a week at least, I am heartbroken seeing him so torn, his mother uses him as a pawn and he senses it and doesn't like it.  My heart is broken and I am broke.  It has cost us over $15k, we moved into a small place and all any of us wants to do is cry.  I try to remind myself to find justice and pursue this but they have nearly broken me.  Our appeal is filed and we will have to wait 4 months or so to be heard.  They will kick this back and I pray they use common sense and put my sons wishes and see me as a dad worthy to pick his school.  Re-written law, ignored briefs, judicial court rules violated and my son who misses his other family at his old day care, who have helped me raise him since he was 3.  They have taught him the bible, god, how to treat others and instill in him the values I cherish.  Magistrate Owens also took away my midnight service on Christmas Eve.  She felt it was too late for a child under 12 to be out.  I had that worked into my original custody when he was 2 and we were divorced.  At midnight at our church the lights go out and we light candles to mark the birth of Jesus.  We only go to church a couple of times a year.  He looks so forward to that service.  She doesn't care that his mother takes him to bond fires and keeps him up until 2 am, or she lets him watch movies all night while she sleeps.  I argued for 10 minutes with her attorney on why an earlier service on Christmas Eve isn't Jesus's birthday.  It starts at Midnight, he is home by 12:20 even though I have until 1 am to bring him home.  That was taken away because the Magistrate said so....I just hope I can see my son smile and feel safe again, he is not having a good time at his new school.  I am trying to help him to adjust but there are factors there that just keep it from happening.  Sorry to vent.  Christina I hope your misery has ended and you recieved justice.  Maybe knowing what we are going through and the sacrifices we have made will help you.  For the haters, I am married to a Physician Assistant with a Master's degree.  We met 3 years ago and she is amazing with my son.  They have an amazing relationship.  Shacking up doesn't change Judge Kovack's opinion.  My son's mother moved in with her BF and her BF has actually threatened me infront of my child.  The mother works, shops, dines and parties (which we don't do) in Medina, her bf Works, shops, dines and parties in Medina.  They only live in Lodi and my son now goes to school there.  BTW I was her 2nd husband.  So the fact they are not married doesn't matter.  

I guess you didn't read the, well, entire report? Quite clearly it states the child is in the custody of the mother and her BOYFRIEND. Telling this woman she's required to marry the child's father in order for them to get custody is a bit ridiculous considering the mother who has custody isn't married to the man she lives with...



Perhaps a re-read is in order?

What the hell does the fact that his mother works 40 hours a week have to do with anything??? Were it not for you being home at your 'boyfriends' house, then the child would also be in daycare while he was visiting there...and I say shame shame for downing a mom who is working to take care of her kid...is she neglecting him? abusing him? is he hungry? dirty? denied medical care? probably not...no, I am not a mom advocate---I know plenty of mother's who should not have their children with them...however, the reasons you put in your first paragraph are crap!!

I am a full time working mother---and that, by no means, should be a factor in my daughter being able to be taken from my custody....

I don't supposed that the fact you two are shacked up would have anything to do with it? Like it or not a Judge has to look at the family situation. Is it better to have a child live with its mother or the father and his shack up honey? I would say morally it would be better for the child to live with its mother. Also it is proven in study after study that there is an increase in abuse to children who live in household where one biological parent is living with a girlfriend or boyfriend who has no biological or emotional attachment to the child. I have no doubt that you fiance loves his child. If he wants the child you two need to get married and prove your commitment to the child and then go back to court.
