Leon Koziol submits parental rights case to U.S. Supreme Court

Last update Dec 22, 2010 @ 06:34 PM

Suspended Utica attorney Leon Koziol filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday asking it to hear his

case challenging New York’s custody and support laws.

The case, if heard, will address the constitutional limits affecting domestic relations litigation, whether the state promotes

“institutional discrimination on account of gender” in custody cases, and whether the state has retaliated against Koziol for his

criticism of the custody system, a news release stated.

Koziol, an outspoken advocate for fathers’ rights, had his law license suspended indefinitely earlier this year for failure to pay

child support. He also recently filed a civil lawsuit against the New York State Unified Court System and more than 20 other

defendants relating to his ongoing custody battle.

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the country and hears only a fraction of the cases submitted each year.

Until the case is sett led, I think he should still be responsible for paying child support if he does not have physicalcust ody of his children.Login or register to post a comment:
