I have to admit that I am not familiar with the “corrupt bureacracy” you are talking about, so I don’t have an opinion as to that. I just see local families dealing with local judges.
The article takes a much broader perspective, and is directly related to the enormous bureacracy that’s been built up in relation to the relatively new federal role in family law. The new “luxury tax” in child support income is the result of federal law. Local judges have nothing to do with the decision.
