Family court abuse often hides in plain sight because the machinery makes delay look normal. A judge issues an order, then refuses to enforce it. A spouse raises financial misconduct, and the courtroom shrugs. Emergency motions sit while bank accounts drain. The victim is told to keep filing, keep waiting, keep paying, and keep trusting the process that is failing her. If Jackie Johnson Sample is right, Judge Skarin did not merely preside over dysfunction. He helped normalize it. Two judges leaving the case does not prove wrongdoing by itself, but it raises the right question: what happened in that courtroom?

Two judges resigning/retiring from this one controversial case is likely not a coincidence.
