Idaho Senator Tammy Nichols Exposes Family Court’s Secret ‘Legal Weapons’
Idaho State Senator Tammy Nichols is blowing the whistle on what she calls the family court system’s “legal weapons.” In a fiery episode of The Unknown Podcast, Nichols joined journalists Michael Volpe and Richard Luthmann to expose how judges and attorneys use ex parte custody orders and unaccountable guardians ad litem (GALs) to steamroll parents—mostly mothers—without hearings, evidence, or appeal. These tools are used nationwide to silence and bankrupt the powerless. Nichols calls it a civil rights crisis and vows sweeping reform through her statewide task force. With media silent, the grassroots are rising—and Idaho just lit the fuse.
