Bruns v. Green

Appellee Kayleigh (Bruns) Paul sought to terminate a shared-parent plan and decree and to be named sole residential and legal custodian of her daughter.  She prevailed and was granted sole custody, but the child’s father appealed to Ohio’s Tenth District Court of Appeals and, ultimately, to the Ohio Supreme Court, where Emmett represented Mrs. Paul.   Following oral argument via video, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Mrs. Paul’s favor, adopting the arguments advanced by Emmett in his brief to the Court concerning statutory interpretation and application of Ohio Supreme Court precedent.
