Syllabus

Prohibition—Court of appeals correctly dismissed domestic-relations court from action because a court of common pleas is not sui juris and cannot be sued—Appellant failed to show that domestic-relations court or county child-support-enforcement agency patently and unambiguously lack subject-jurisdiction in his divorce and child-support cases, and appellant had adequate remedies in ordinary course of law to challenge agency's finding him in default of his child-support order and magistrate's finding him in contempt—An opportunity to file objections to a magistrate's decision qualifies as an adequate remedy in ordinary course of law—Court of appeals' judgment granting appellees' motions to dismiss affirmed.
