Ruling Reversed Custody Kept by Mother in Ohio Case
The Ninth District Court of Appeals reversed a Lorain Common Pleas ruling, keeping seven and eight year old sons with their mother Barbara Pomeroy of Shaker Heights. Judge Webber had granted custody to the father Warren Klein in 1963, but the appellate court found no change in circumstances warranted a custody shift and that the trial court’s welfare finding lacked evidentiary support. The dispute also centered on alleged attempts to alter the children's Jewish religious upbringing following the mother’s remarriage.
