Kirchner v. Crystal

Locher, J.,

dissenting. For the reasons expressed in my concurring opinions in Bonkowsky v. Bonkowsky (1982), 69 Ohio St. 2d 152, 154 [23 O.O.3d 188], and Mauk v. Mauk (1984), 12 Ohio St. 3d 156, 159, as well as those stated by Chief Justice Celebrezze in the instant case, I must dissent. The abrogation of familial immunity will do irreparable harm to one of the fundamental institutions of our society: the family unit. The rationales supporting this immunity remain viable today.
