Relief From Magistrates Order

Summary

In Ohio, you can challenge a magistrates order in civil custody cases by filing objections within 14 days. The judge will review these objections, considering the best interests of the child. Ohio Rule of Civil Procedure 53(D) and due process rights protect your ability to contest decisions. Biological mothers have fundamental rights to custody unless proven unfit, supported by the Ohio Revised Code 3109.04 and the ADA, which prevents discrimination based on disability. To file for emergency custody, you must demonstrate immediate harm with evidence like affidavits or reports. If false claims led to an emergency custody order, you can contest it by presenting evidence and highlighting inaccuracies.

Federal law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination, including in parenting matters. Courts across the country have affirmed that parents cannot be deemed unfit solely due to a disability unless there is clear evidence that the disability directly and significantly impacts their ability to care for their child. No such evidence exists in my case.

Your Honor, I stand before this court today not just as a mother, but as a person who has been unjustly accused of being unfit based solely on my autism diagnosis. This accusation is not only discriminatory but also a direct violation of my fundamental rights as a biological mother.

*. The Right to Parent It is a well-established legal principle that biological mothers have the right to custody and care of their children unless there is clear, compelling evidence of unfitness. A medical diagnosis—be it autism or any other condition—does not automatically equate to unfitness. To claim otherwise sets a dangerous precedent that could strip countless capable parents of their rights based on bias rather than fact.
