Judicial Misconduct - Vacating Decision?
A visiting judge in Ohio profited from a
Child Custody Trial by grossly fabricating
his invoices. (He billed the state for dates
not worked, and for a date after the final
decision.)
Does judicial misconduct that seemingly
does not go to the merits of a case mean
the decision can be vacated?

It is theoretically possible, but you have to prove that the judge's actions had a direct effect on the case. File something with the Ohio Supreme Court Disciplinary Counsel in Columbus to get things going.
