Zemba v. Zemba, Ct2006-0083 (9-28-2007)

OPINION *Page 2 {¶ 1} On July 21, 2003, appellant, Kristina Zemba, and appellee, Stephen Zemba, were married. The parties have a child born prior to the marriage, Kailey Zemba born August 20, 2003. On October 31, 2005, appellee filed a complaint for divorce.

{¶ 2} A hearing before a magistrate was held on July 21, 2006. The magistrate issued a decision on September 20, 2006. By judgment entry/decree of divorce filed November 3, 2006, the trial court granted the parties a divorce.

{¶ 3} Appellant filed an appeal and this matter is now before this court for consideration. Assignments of error are as follows:

I {¶ 4} "THE TRIAL COURT COMMITTED PLAIN ERROR WHEN IT AWARDED UNSUPERVISED PARENTING TIME WITH THE MINOR CHILD TO APPELLEE WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF HIS MENTAL IMPAIRMENT."

II {¶ 5} "THE TRIAL COURT COMMITTED PLAIN ERROR IN AWARDING 100% OF THE PARTIES BUSINESS, STEPHEN ZEMBA EXCAVATING, LLC, TO APPELLEE."

III {¶ 6} "THE TRIAL COURT COMMITTED PLAIN ERROR IN AWARDING ALL THREE (3) PARCELS OF MARITAL REAL ESTATE, THOSE BEING THE MARITAL RESIDENCE, RENTAL PROPERTY AND A MEXICO TIME SHARE, TO APPELLEE." *Page 3

I, II, III {¶ 7} Appellant appeals the trial court's November 3, 2006 judgment entry/decree of divorce. Appellant assigns as error three assignments, all of which involve issues and disputes as to the facts presented to the magistrate.

{¶ 8} The magistrate's decision was rendered on September 20, 2006 and the terms of the decision were incorporated into the trial court's November 3, 2006 judgment entry/decree of divorce. A timely appeal was filed on December 4, 2006.

{¶ 9} The magistrate's decision included a boxed warning for failing to file objections pursuant to Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)(iv) which states the following:

{¶ 10} "Waiver of right to assign adoption by court as error onappeal. Except for a claim of plain error, a party shall not assign as error on appeal the court's adoption of any factual finding or legal conclusion, whether or not specifically designated as a finding of fact or conclusion of law under Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(a)(ii), unless the party has objected to that finding or conclusion as required by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(b)."

{¶ 11} There were no objections filed with the trial court pursuant to said rule. We therefore conclude appellant's assignments of error have not been properly perfected.

{¶ 12} Assignments of Error I, II, III are denied. *Page 4

{¶ 13} The judgment of the Court of Common Pleas of Muskingum County, Ohio, Domestic Relations Division is hereby affirmed.

By Farmer, J. Gwin, P.J. and Wise, J. concur.
