In the article the judge sounded a lot like our very own Child Support Activist "Momma Bear" Pomeroy.
"The typical family pattern was the mother at home with the children, the father working," said Hon. Robert Swisher, a longtime Judge for Benton-Franklin Superior Court."
What you never hear in these news stories is the real story on why our legislature won't ever pass shared parenting. As long as the DSHS funding keeps coming into the court and continues to be a HUGE profit center for the state budget, the legal robber barons won't do what is best for the children. That is a well worn out cliche. The judiciary and the legislature could at least start being honest (after all they do insist on being called Honorable) and just tell the masses that the money is too enormous to change the system. Take the "in the children's best interest" out of the language of the law if you are going to let these judges continue run the momma bear and DV rackets. Be honest for a change, it's about money not about kids. If Dad were to get equal time, the courts and DSHS would get FAR LESS money. Why do you think Pomeroy and Wickham have been so active on the Child Support Work Group Committees? It's about the money, your uh er, Honor.

I think I saw this gal dancing on a guys shirt at the Child Support Workgroup. Something about support a single mother - and a pole dancer.
Don't know who that was, but I loved his shirt.
