"A common tactic is to falsely accuse someone of child abuse in order to secure custody of the children. These accusations are often accepted without proof."
This happened to me in my recent divorce. Ended up being dropped, my ex and her attorney were warned in open court not to ever try anything like that again, and in the end, Court Services made the recommendation to the Judge that I be given primary custody, she was to pay child support, and have 7 days a month visitation.
There is justice when you have a fair judge.

True. I don't know about the accusations against this judge in Reno. But for a lot of years, judges routinely sided with the wife/mother in these matters. This goes back to the time when women often did not work outside the home and had little or no income. But now that a large number of women do have their own income (and sometimes more than the menfolk), I see no viable reason to bleed the husband/father for child support. And absent any danger such as drug abuse, child molestation and the like, or a deliberate attempt to evade child support altogether, there is no dang good reason for any woman to deny the father the right to have a relationship with the children. Judges need to change their attitudes toward the parties in these cases. Some have. I've seen considerable progress in that regard, but more has to be done.
And certainly this judge in Reno or any judge who takes bribes or commits any other deliberate impropriety ought to be bounced off the bench and jailed.
