The Ohio CSEA Directors Association (OCDA) under the direction of Kim Newsom-Bridges, Director, is ultimately responsible for “educating” Ohio’s 88 county-level CSEAs as to how best seize the majority of a father’s assets and or income. And that, without any regard whatsoever as to how it harms the children of those fathers they’ve bankrupted and thereby driven into homelessness.

Additionally, and despite Ms. Newsom-Bridges actively campaigning for higher “child support” obligations in Ohio, as well as petitioning Ohio Legislators to help her achieve her “profits”, she regularly sits on the Ohio Child Support Advisory Council, and more specifically, the “Deviations Committee.” Said committee is responsible for recommending “downward deviations” in child support orders. Not surprisingly, Ms. Newsom-Bridges has NEVER recommended a downward deviation for Ohio’s “child support” guidelines, nor has the aforementioned committee she’s sat upon.

That’s for good reason and by design; Ms. Newsom-Bridges is “responsible” for maximizing Ohio’s statewide “child support” collections so her agency can thereby maximize Ohio’s “profit” on its annual collections. And that in my humble opinion, is exactly why Ms. Newsom-Bridges regularly sits on the Ohio Child Support Guidelines Advisory Council when it meets, and more specifically why she sits on the “Deviations Committee;” so she can maximize the State of Ohio’s “profit” that’s ‘earned’ on each and every “child support” payment a noncutodial parent makes.

I suspect that it’s also to ensure that the State of Ohio never passes any laws or incorporates any “child support” statutes whereby a father’s “child support” obligation is actually lowered. It’s important to understand that lowering a father’s “child support” obligation is in direct conflict with her very public mission to increase Ohio’s statewide “child support” collections.

Stated otherwise, it’s quite obvious that “the fox is in the hen house”, and for good reason. I firmly believe that it’s for the sole purpose of ensuring that the amount of the annual statewide “child support” collections in Ohio always increases. With Ms. Newsom-Bridges at the helm on the aforementioned Deviations Committee, rest assured that we’ll never see any recommendatons that downward modifications in “child support” orders be statutorily effected in Ohio.
