Your case is unique, but you are not alone.

About 41,000 new cases are filed in U.S. courts every weekday. Behind each one is a person trying to understand what happens next. Here’s what the public record can tell you about this matter — and about the people deciding it.

  • Know your judge

    Every judge has a pattern — what they grant, what they deny, how they handle the kinds of motions your case will see.

  • Know your attorney

    See an attorney’s actual track record — case types, courts, and how they’ve performed in front of this judge before.

  • Know your court

    Every courthouse has its own rhythm — filing-to-resolution times, common dispositions, how often cases like yours settle.

Is this judge more likely to rule for the plaintiff or the defendant in cases of this type?

How has your attorney actually performed in front of this judge?

AICasePredict surfaces patterns from public court records. We don’t predict outcomes and we don’t recommend changing your attorney — that’s a conversation for you and them. We just show you what the record already says.

  35. OBJECTIONS TO SPP Attorney: BERGER, ROBERT WALTER (33221)
  36. MAGISTRATE'S DEC./ORDER. TRIAL 3/22/06. PLTF APPEARED WITH ATTY ROSENBERG. DEF APPEARED WITH ATTY BERGER. ATTY LYLE APEPARED ON BEHALF OF CSEA. THE PARTIES ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT REGARDING THE ISSUES OF PATERNITY AND CHILD SUPPORT. SAID AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFLECTED IN A SEPARATE ENTRY. THE HRG PROCEEDED REGARDING THE REMAINING ISSUES OF PARENTING TIME AND ADOPTION OF PLTF'S PROPOSED SPP. MAGISTRATE FINDS PTLF & DEF ARE THE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS OF CHILD. PLTF LIVES IN KENT WITH HIS PARENTS AND GIRLFRIEND. HIS BROTHER RESIDES IN THE HOME WHEN HE IS NOT ATTENDING COLLEGE. DEFENDANT LIVES IN MOGADORE, OH WITH HER FIANCE' AND CHILD. PLTF IS EMPLOYED IN THE FIELD OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT SALES, IN TWINSBURG, OH AND TYPICALLY WORKS 9:00 AM TO 6:00 PM. DEF IS A STUDENT AT THE AKRON INSTITUTE PURSUING A DEGREE AS A MEDICAL ASSISTANT. SHE IS PRESENTLY UNEMPLOYED. PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, PLTF ENJOYS PARENTING TIME WITH CHILD EVERY WK FROM 7:00 PM FRI TO 6:00 PM SAT. ADDITIONALLY, PLTF HAS EXERCISED PARENTING TIME WITH CHILD ON SOME SUN AFTERNOONS AND WEEKNIGHTS. PLTF & DEF AGREE TO THE FRI TO SAT PARENTING TIME SCHEDULE CONTINUING. DEF AGREES WITH PTLF EXERCISING PARENTING TIME ON THE WEEKNIGHT, HOWEVER, DEF WANTS THE SCHEDULE TO BE FROM 4:30 PM TO 7:30 PM AND PLTF WANTS IT TO BE UNTIL 8:00 PM. CHILD TYPICALLY GOES TO BED AT 8:00 PM. PTLF HAS FILED A PROPOSED SPP. DEF FILED AN OBJ TO PLTF'S PROPOSED SPP. DEF HAS NOT FILED A PROPOSED SPP. DEF OPPOSES PLTF'S PROPOSED SPP. DEF'S STATED REASONS INCLUDE THE FACT THAT SHE WAS RAISED IN A BROKEN HOME AND, FOR STABILITY, CHILD NEEDS TO BE HOME MON THROUGH FRI. CHILD INTERACTS WELL WITH PTLF'S PARENTS. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE PRESENTED REGARDING THE REMAINING FACTORS SET FORTH IN ORC 3109.04(F)(1) OR THOSE FACTORS ARE NOT RELEVANT. PLTF & CHILD HAVE A STRONG BOND. DEF DESCRIBES PLTF AS AN EXCELLENT FATHER. THE PARTIES LIVE 10 TO 15 MINUTES FROM EACH OTHER. PLTF CAN NOT PICK UP CHILD FROM DEF'S RESIDENCE UNTIL APPROX 6:45 PM ON WEEKNIGHTS. PLTF MAY BE ABLE TO LEAVE WORK EARLY ON THE WEEKNIGHTS HE IS ENTITLED TO PARENTING TIME WITH CHILD. PLTF'S PARENTS ARE WILLING TO PICK CHILD UP IF PLTF IS ENTITLED TO WEEKNIGHT PARENTING TIME. CHILD IS 14 MONTHS OLD. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE PRESENTED REGARDING THE REMAINING FACTORS SET FORTH IN ORC 3109.051(D) OR THOSE FACTORS ARE NOT RELEVANT. DELAYING CHILD'S BEDTIME FOR 30 MINUTES ONE NIGHT EACH WEEK TO ALLOW PLTF ADDITIONAL TIME TO INTERACT WITH HIS SON WILL NOT HAVE A DELETERIOUS EFFECT ON CHILD. DEF'S OBJ TO THE ADOPTION OF A SPP IS NOT WELL-TAKEN AND IS OVERRULED. ACCORDINGLY, THE MAGISTRATE DECIDES AT A MINIMUM, PLTF SHALL BE ENTITLED TO PARENTING TIME WITH CHILD EVERY WK FROM 7:00 PM FRI TO 6:00 PM SAT. IN ADDITION, PLTF SHALL BE ENTITLED TO PARENTING TIME WITH CHILD EVERY WED FROM 5:00 PM TO 8:00 PM. WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS, THE SPP SHALL BE ADOPTED AS BEING IN THE BEST INT OF CHILD. THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE SHALL BE ADDED TO PARA (2) ON PAGE 2 OF THE PROPOSED SPP. "IF THE PARENTS ARE UNABLE TO AGREE ON AN APPROPRIATE HEALTH CARE PROVIDER, MOTHER SHALL SELECT THE PROVIDER". THE VISIT/COMPANIONSHIP SCHEDULE SET FORTH ON PAGE 3 THROUGH 4 OF THE PROPOSED SPP SHAL BE REDRAFTED TO REFLECT THIS DECISION AND THE PARENTING TIME SCHEDULE AS SET FORTH IN PARAS B THROUGH H OF THIS COURT'S "IN-STATE VISIT SCHEDULE" (ATTACHED). PLTF SHALL PREPARE AND FILE THE SPP, WITH THE ABOVE REFERENCED AMENDMENTS, ALONG WITH THE APPROPRIATE ENTRY, WITHIN 14 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS DECISION. COSTS EQUALLY ASSESSED TO EACH PARTY.
