By the end of 2008, fed-up with not being able to make ends meet with the drag of 31% of my gross income withdrawn from each paycheck, I filed a motion to decrease child support and have my ex-wife use my health insurance for the dental and vision expenses of my girls. I was last in court in January 23, 2009.
Until today, I have not heard about Support Magistrate Grey’s decision. That’s very strange. Support Magistrate Grey is a fast shooter at non-custodial fathers. Usually, every time sicko ex-wife thas taken me to court -at least twice a year- for unreimbursed medical expenses, I have gotten a money judgment order within two weeks. Today, I learnt by a clerk of the court that Grey is on leave and that her decision is “reserved.” “Facts” of my case are being faxed to her.
What are these intricate facts? On one side, sicko ex-wife, Goliath: $4,660 and change in net monthly salary from Princeton University; $6,800 of alleged monthly rental income for a 2,200 square-feet loft, paid in full, in Soho (New York City). Total alleged (sicko ex-wife had not brought her last tax return to court, but why bother, since Grey does not) net monthly income: $11, 500. To which is added every month $1,000 in child support, coming from me. Grand total net income: $12, 500 net a month. On January 23, sicko ex-wife wined about the heavy property tax in New York City and the high maintenance on her loft. I guess this is what the $1,000 in child support covers.
On the other side, myself. Net monthly income with $1,000 in child support payments deducted: $2,100. With Grey’s absurd money judgment for unreimbursed medical expenses, I am left with $1,600 and change a month, and my ex-wife with now $12,900. Any second grader would immediately grasp the difference in net monthly income by a factor of 6, and make the inevitable conclusions: something is wrong with transferring such resources from the relatively poor to the relatively rich. Even in New York City, there are many, many single parents who raise two kids with less than $11,500 net a month.
It clearly takes more time than a second grader for Support Magistrate Grey to get the “facts.” It must have to do with bias against men and a ill-conceived sense of the Support Magistrate mission: be Robin Hood squeezing the last penny from irresponsible deadbeat dads. Support magistrate Grey is no Robin Hood. She is the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Wow, 1600 for you to live off? Amazing…that’s not so bad, my husband, our special needs son and myself are left to live off 1600USD a month too…and that’s 3 of us…Funny, many ask why “I” don’t work…well, I did work for 19 years, 9 of which I supported my husband since he was left with less than 600USD a month before to live on his own after child support took their money…after me sacrificing for him and HIS child, so that he could stay out of jail and see her for 9 plus years, I lost my job…now she ex can go on vacations every year to the Caribbean with her 3 kids (only one is my husband’s) and stay a month…and his daughter has the IPOD and anything else that is the latest fashion…while the 3 of us attempt to live off 1600USD a month…so, now I am having to take out my 401K money to support ourselves, all the while the ex lives the high life…
PS – funny thing is ex is remarried to a man with 2 child support orders…and yes, she hides him from the attorney general and he does NOT pay child support…nice, huh?
Good luck to you…someday it will end…that’s the only thing that keeps me going…
I am in agreement with you and that fact that the Magistrate I am dealing with something a little far fetch than what you are dealing with here in Columbus, Ohio. It took less than three weeks for a Magistrate Cain to file a motion which over ruled Judge Kim Browne to give my wife exclusive beneficiary rights to the home I owned twelve years prior to our marriage and my wife to have me thrown out in the streets in the middle of the night. I had Columbus finest there telling me that they would arrest me if I would not leave. Yet this is a civil matter and they had not right to take such action. But, Do you think I can stop a person who has the power to put me in jail whether they are right or wrong? That is a crime in itself.
The waco ex-wife lied about every thing in her affidavit to include my income and I have been under a child support order for over a year of over one hundred and Seventy dollars a week on a income of less than eighteen thousand dollars a year income. The Waco so to be ex-wife claimed I make over $50,000.00 a year and that she only makes $17,000.00 a year to equate that my share of the child support of over seventy percent.
Yet a year has past and still no reduction in the child support order by Magistrate McCain. So, why is it taking him so long now to make an adjustment after I have brought forth tax filings to prove I do not make the money she claimed I did.
I believe that fact is that now all of us fathers are view as deadbeats and the courts are going to make examples out of us.
I have fought with my license being suspended many times in the past year due to the fact that I am practically homeless due to the foul Magistrates decision and the Lies my soon to be ex has put in her affidavit. Does she have to worry about perjury on the stand? Apparently not.
This is wrong and they get away with it due to the fact that no media is willing to put anything on the tube about these Court screw up’s. It does not affect their lives in anyway shape or form so why should they have to worry about it.
The Judges and the Magistrates of Ohio may have a college education but, lack any common sense.
The needs to be a law to have these Judges and Magistrates thrown off the bench when they make such grave errors in their Judgements and cause undue hardship in ones life!
I believe I was punished by the courts due to the fact that I started with Pro Se of my case since I could not afford an attorney.
Just think I asked for our sons sake for us to have a peaceful separation.
Not to mention the courts were made aware that my 57 year old wife was sleeping with our twelve year old son and had been doing so since he was a child. Did the courts care? No.
Just think if the table was turn and it was I sleeping with our Twelve year old daughter. Tell me that discrimination is not a factor here. I will offer you some prime swamp land for sale at a good price.
So, how do we stop this and Stop them from badgering us in these situation which we have all seen those who choose to make a stand and picked up a gun and settle the matter on T.V. daily. It is appearent to me that some people can only be push so far till they reach there breaking point. And to think that These Judges and Magistrates and evil attorneys who make couples fight each other for no reason so they can put more money in there pockets, can go home and sleep at night troubles me.
I have heard it over and over again that the court system is just a money game and nothing more. That is a sad state of affairs.

Well, Do I have a story to tell, It is come to the final set of this money lynch of a system called the Justice System civil court.
I have discovered why the Magistrates and Judges will not touch perjury on the stand. It is due to the fact they all Lie including the Judges and the Lawyers, thus all would be guilty of Perjury.
It is a head game they like to play to get you to fold to someone else’s lie. Just to get the case over with and move on to the next. They don’t have time for this silly non-since as spoken by the Great Kim Browne Columbus, Ohio. Funny This Judge twice said the case would go on a certain date but, then changed it twice. For, what?
This judge has said, this is how things are going to be many of times and turn around and did the complete opposite. And she wants the world to think she cares for children. Give Me A Break. She does not care at all what my child has had to endure and by the way he is failing in school. Oh, that’s right I don’t have enough money for her to care!
That is why, they go to college is to learn how to lie better then you and I and take all the money they can.
Wait til you hear the rest of the story soon to come. The good thing is when it comes to appeal her decision, she will have to come to the stand and explain her actions.
Maybe I could find an honest Lawyer “Fat Chance of that” They don’t produce those out of our college, the test they take to become a lawyer, ranks them on how well they can lie to their clients.
I worked for over thirty yrs at the same job a n u deserved none of my money u did not get what u could have because I proved financial MISCONDUCT ON U . Whay kind of a man are u to go after my retirement because u had none so u became angry when I filed for divorce because u thought id kiss ur behind to eternity. Y dont u get on the meds u need so do u can think strait. You could be successful and finish all the projects u start and never complete.
Woww you guys got problems, im glad i aint got a family yet, im still in high school. I will trty not to get into thise situations =P
Take heart guys, there’s a case where the biological mother of two children was ordered to pay $1,500./month child support to a non-biological parent who actually earned more than the mother. The mother lost custody of her children as a result. Non-biological parent (through 2nd parent adoption) historically has earned more, currently over $110,000. annually, in a household that has over $250,000. combined income per year (a doctor and a lawyer) and yet claims that there isn’t enough money to buy sneakers for the kids. The “sneaker defense” was used to file a retaliatory upward mod when the mother lost her job in 2009 and had filed a downward mod. Nearly two years later, the mother is still struggling as her case languishes in NY Family Court. Sadly, money (if you have it) will buy you lawyers, judges, experts, even kids. This example does not have a father in it but it does have one key element that many of these horror stories share: a spiteful ex working the system. Hang in there gentlemen, you’re not alone.
well this is the waco thank god ex wife and if some fathers cared about their children and not just how much money they can take from the wife and mother of their child because they are greedy and don’t want to work and live off their wifes retirement account and when it comes to caring about the children and oh my they are failing in school i wonder why??? maybe because the child has soooo many problems and the break up of the family and the father really doesn’t give a crap because he hasn’t seen his son for over 5 months and only concentrates on what he can get money wise from his ex wife doesn’t evewn realize his son is suffering with a broken heart struggling and all his father wants to do is degrade the mother and say its all your fault when he can’t even hold down a job for longer than 6 months and had 30 jobs in 12 yrs and the wife is being sucked dry and i guess he is now trying to suck the life out of her and is not concerned for his son hes nothing but a liar a cheat and a parasite that disgust his own mother!!
Wow, so she wants to explain what happen in her sick, twisted mind, Yet, she is the one who lied to the courts, filed one fraudulent affidavit after another. And got away with it so, she thinks.
sherry newman Dmitrenak
The day I found out that Sherry D Dmitrenak/ Newman , her daughter Lindsey Joyner, and Brittney caroused my daughter to start Stripping on the stages of the strip clubs of Columbus, Ohio after she had encourage her daughter Lindsey Joyner two years prior at the age of 18 to start strip at the strip clubs since she apparently could not make it in any other dance arena.
That this so called wife according to my daughter lied to me saying that the girls were in bed sleeping while she was allowing them to sneak out in the night and lay with their boyfriends which lead to many abortions that Sherry D Dmitrenak keep under lock and key for many years.
When I found this all out from my upset daughter. I informed Mrs. Sherry D. Dmitrenak that I no longer wanted to be her husband and for the sake of our young son, go our separate ways peacefully and divide the martial assets.
But nooooo, that was not what she had on her mind. She called the police so many times for every pin that dropped in the house and she was dropping them to the point one of the Smarter ones of the Columbus Police Department told her, they could not come to the residence every time a pin dropped.
Yet she, continued her wrath. She filed for a CPO order on me and when I appeared in court to defend myself with four of the finest as Judge Kim Browne stated Columbus Police officers. Kim Browne stated to her that she would not allow a CPO nor an exclusive beneficiary rights to my home and if she did not like it to move out.
Oh, but that is not what Mrs.Sherry D. Dimitrenak wanted to her so she continue to stir things up and cause chaos in front of our son of age ten to the point that she hire Attorney Jeffery Fish, had him file false affidavits for her and requested a hearing with the Magistrate McCain for an Exclusive Beneficiary Rights that the Judge had already denied her of.
What did the sweet innocent Mrs. Sherry D. Dimitrenak do? She held up the summons for this court date so I would be unawares of this court date and would not have the chance to defend myself. Thus, On Febuary 28th, 2008 at around 11pm at night, I was confronted with a Dum Ass Columbus Police Officer who stated Mrs. Sherry Dimitrenak possessed court papers Granting her Exclusive Beneficiary Rights to my home and I would have to Leave. I informed the Dumb Ass that this was civil and not criminal and he could not make me leave. He stated that his Dumb Ass Sergeant told him if I did not leave to arrest me.
What would you do? Let the dumb ass arrest you just to prove the following day that most Columbus Police Officer don’t know the law they are enforcing. So, I left and my house at midnight with no place to go and to cold to shut down a vehicle and get some rest for the court hearing scheduled the following days.
She talks about our son as though she really cared. She cared nothing about herself and her revenge on a good man walking out of her life. Our son Suffers by her own hand and she is to blind to see this or chooses not too.
Stay tune for the rest of the story!

But this one takes the cake….you take part of Sherry’s retirement….what kind of a man does that when you make money anyway you can including scamming your own friends and family….you talk about your daughter and sherry’s daughter stripping, but you don’t tell that you go for pleasure in the same atmosphere nor that you and your twin brother went to the home of two strippers and after you returned from upstairs you left behind a jacket your mother in law purchased for you!!!! Sherry’s mother!!!!! Shame on you Bret Newman….you need to do what your twin brother does on and off….take meds for bipolar disorder!!!!!!!!!
Stay tune alright for more of mr newmans LIES what a jerk!!
I will address Mrs.Sherry Newman Dmitrenak’s statement before I add the rest of the story.
First off she has got it right that she is a Waco. And her statement proves that.
Fact one:
I asked for a Peaceful solution, she turned it into a fiasco and cause extreme financial damage and in directly took thousands of dollars out of my Children’s future inheritance. To my knowledge she is not blind. She obviously knows what she has done but chooses to turn a blind eye to it all. Or maybe has she has agreed she is WACO.
Fact two:
She is the one who Filed a false affidavit with the courts knowing all well that at the time I was unemployed and trying to start up a business again due to my past injuries and claimed I was making $60,000.00 a year and creating a grossly amount of child support order for her greed and her greed alone. Was any of that over paid child support accredited to my current support order? No! My Attorney Tom Webber stated this woman makes no since due the fact of what she has done and the hardship she had brought on for all even the children. Yea she cares alright.
Fact Three:
Her divorce case was tossed out of court due to all of her false affidavits that she could not bring evidence forth. She fired her Attorney Jeffery Fish of Columbus, Ohio that she owed well over $7,000.00 dollars for her bull. And he then had to file judgment against her, which to my understanding he settle for $1,500.00. What do you know, there is some justice in this bull after all. LOL
Which in turn forced me to file a proper/ truthful Divorce on her, which I had proof and finalized it. Thank God for that!
Fact Four:
She is the one that, when I went to pick up my Son at his School for the first time visitation, I was confronted by a jerk of a principle, stating that She had been there and change the form, not allowing me to pick up the child from school and he would have no choice but to call the police and enforce the fact if my son got in my car and have me arrested. Again my Attorney even shook his head in disbelief. Mind you my Son was 15yrs old at this time.
Fact Five:
My son struggles in school due to the fact, she does not parent him, she try’s too befriend him. Which has lead to many times of him being tardy at school, not showing up for school and the list goes on.
Last but not least! She continued to try and have me arrested and thrown in jail with her lies! How is one going to pay child support then, My Attorney said!
More of the truth to come, So help me God!
Oh, my bloody god, learn how to spell, people. Please. Google brought me here when I looked up the judge assigned to my case. Goodness bless her for having to deal with you wackos. Yes, that’ W-A-C-K-O-S. Waco is a city in Texas. Bloody hells.
