Arizona's Family Court Scandal: Gov. Hobbs vetoes HB 2256, sparking outrage over family court-ordered abuse. Critics call it "sadism."

ARIZONA’S FAMILY COURT SCANDAL

    Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is under fire for vetoing a bill that aimed to protect children from court-ordered abuse disguised as “therapy.” HB 2256, amended by Senator Mark Finchem and sponsored by Representative Rachel Keshel, would have barred courts from forcing families to pay for controversial reunification programs without consent. Critics accuse Hobbs of siding with court-connected profiteers over traumatized children. “This decision protects the profit motive and self-dealing,” said Finchem. Advocates say the veto enables financial extortion and shields unlicensed actors preying on broken families. Jill Jones Soderman called Hobbs “a sadist” for enabling abuse under the guise of justice.

    THE NEW JERSEY DEVIL IN THE COURTROOM?

      In a fiery moment inside Sussex County Family Court, Diane Womer, head of Family Matters of Morris County, branded journalist Richard Luthmann “the devil.” Her accusation came not in defense of a child’s safety—but in frustration over Luthmann’s growing exposés targeting the shady underside of New Jersey’s family court. From TheFamilyCourtCircus.com to The Unknown Podcast, Luthmann and co-host Michael Volpe are ripping the lid off corruption, favoritism, and profiteering in court-appointed supervision schemes. As public outrage builds and reform efforts mount, insiders like Womer—who wine and dine judges while cashing in on forced visitation—are seeing their empire threatened.
