IDAHO FAMILY COURT CORRUPTION CONFRONTED
Idaho lawmakers have stepped into the national spotlight as they confront widespread corruption in the family court system. On July 7, 2025, the Idaho Legislature’s Child Custody and Domestic Relations Task Force hosted a landmark hearing inspired by Arizona’s successful reform model. Dr. Bandy X. Lee, an international expert on domestic violence, delivered searing testimony, calling family courts “enablers of abusers.” Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem warned of judicial overreach and offered solutions. With public outcry rising and other states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee pushing reform, Idaho could be next to flip the script on family court injustice.
