## Opinion text

Locher, J.,
dissenting. For the reasons expressed in my concurring opinions in Bonkowsky v. Bonkowsky (1982), 69 Ohio St. 2d 152, 154 [ 23 O.O.3d 188 ], and Mauk v. Mauk (1984), 12 Ohio St. 3d 156, 159 , as well as those stated by Chief Justice Celebrezze in the instant case, I must dissent. The abrogation of familial immunity will do irreparable harm to one of the fundamental institutions of our society: the family unit. The rationales supporting this immunity remain viable today.
