Cuyahoga County judge may be the only one locally using receivers, costing divorcing couples thousands
Three Cuyahoga County domestic relations judges say they’ve never seen the need to appoint receivers in divorce cases, a move fellow Judge Leslie Celebrezze has done repeatedly for a family friend while costing couples nearly $500,000 in fees.
In complex divorce cases, judges can appoint receivers to act as neutral parties to take control of all marital property, including real estate, cash and businesses. Receivers have the sole authority to manage the businesses and assets at their discretion throughout the litigation. However, Palos and Reali each said they could not comment, citing an Ohio judicial rule that says “a judge shall not make any public statement that might reasonably be expected to affect the outcome or impair the fairness of a matter pending or impending in any court.”
Jones’ initial recusal didn’t list which judge would handle the case, court records show. But three days later, she vacated it and filed a second one, writing that it was “further ordered that this matter be reassigned to Administrative Judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze.”Jones approved one request for Dottore’s fees; Celebrezze has approved nine other requests, court records show.
Kennedy’s order came as The Marshall Project - Cleveland had been investigating the relationship between Celebrezze and Dottore. Court records show Dottore’s company has earned nearly half a million dollars since 2017 from complex divorce cases in Celebrezze’s courtroom. He charges between $100-$400 per hour, depending on the task.
