Kelm v. Kelm
Ohio Supreme Court
92 Ohio St. 3d 223, 749 N.E.2d 299 (2001)
- Written by Eric Miller, JD
Facts
Russell Kelm and Amy Kelm obtained a divorce in the county court of common pleas. That judgment incorporated a parenting plan under which both parties agreed to submit future disputes over child custody or visitation to arbitration. In a previous judgment stemming from the Kelm divorce proceedings, the Ohio Supreme Court held that matters pertaining to child-support payments could be resolved through arbitration. The question of whether child custody and visitation were also appropriate for arbitration subsequently became a disputed issue, returning the case to the Ohio Supreme Court.
