Prodded by Sen. Mark Leno and other lawmakers, the state Joint Legislative Audit Committee voted to investigate the family courts in Marin and Sacramento counties.
The audit will focus on the use, and potential misuse, of court-appointed specialists in family-law disputes, such as mediators, investigators and therapists.
Critics say such appointees can form incestuous and incompetent networks more concerned with generating fees than helping children through painful custody fights.
Marin and Sacramento counties were chosen for the audit because of the number of litigants reporting problems and filing complaints.

That's what we call them - The Incest Club!
This is a great beginning and an open door for reform of the Marin and Sacramento counties courts.
Guardianship is really a family issue. So, I am encouraged to see this investigation.
The same incest of family court exists in guardianship / conservatorship courts.
I am happy that the two counties chosen we so chosen because of the number of litigants reporting problems and filing complaints. That shows someone's paying attention.
Audits :-) hmmmm what will they find?
