I think the fifty state models could actually help with 14th amendment
challenges to unfair CS awards. Georgia just declared their guidelines
unconstitutional, maybe other states could follow? What about a
challenge based on equal protection because state formulas differ so
much? Just a thought....


14th amendment challenges to CS law have been tried repeatedly using
different legal tactical approaches. While there has been some success

in
getting CS law ruled unconstitutional at the trial court level, the
appellate process has consistently overturned the trial court judges.

In *state* appellate courts--And it does not necessarily follow that

federal
courts would rule similarly.

That is true. Read Mark Levin's book "Men in Black: How the Supreme Court
is Destroying America" for a real eye opener on how the U.S. Supreme Court
has overstepped its constitutional authority and imposed personal preference
policies on our nation regarding issues like marriage/divorce that are not
even mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.

So the question I have is simple - Why should five supreme court justices be
allowed to rule on a state rights issue like marriage/divorce involving only
one state and have their decision become the law of the land for all states?
