Family law cases are almost always state issues, so the USSC leaving it alone seems correct.
I'm not even sure the US Supreme court would have jurisdiction (jurisdiction given by Congress).
Note, this is not a comment on the wisdom of the lower state courts.

I agree with your analysis of this, I really don't think they should get involved unless we pass a constitutional amendment first. Leave this to the states for now.

As much as I would love to see the SCOUS put an end to this one (as currently constituted the might get it right) I agree with you, it's a state issue.
If this was filed in my old home state, the result would have been a foregone conclusion. Yet another reason I now live in NH.
