Sounds like Sarah Palin violated the judge's orders to not disparage her bil.

I wonder if that is the reason the custody case is still on. Seems to me, the judge should be turning over sole custody to Wooten. Those are great family values she is displaying...she may have caused her sister to lose custody of her kids.

Court documents show that Judge Suddock was disturbed by the alleged attacks by Palin and her family members on Wooten's behavior and character. "Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse," the judge told a settlement hearing in October 2005, according to typed notes of the proceedings. The judge added: "Relatives cannot disparage either. If occurs the parent needs to set boundaries for their relatives."

As the divorce case dragged on, the judge's concern about family "disparagement" appeared to deepen. In an order signed Jan. 31, 2006, which granted Palin's sister and Wooten a final divorce decree, Judge Suddock continued to express concern about attacks by Palin's family on Wooten. The judge even threatened to curb Palin's sister's child custody rights if family criticism of Wooten continued.

In monitoring how a joint-custody arrangement worked out, the judge said in his order that he would pay particular attention to problems noted by a "custody investigator," specifically "the disparagement of the father by the mother and her family members."

Judge Suddock wrote "If the court finds it is necessary due to disparagement in the Mat-Su Valley , for the children's best interests, it will not hesitate to order custody to the father and a move into Anchorage."

At the heart of the continuing "Troopergate" flap is evidence that despite Judge Suddock's warnings back in 2005 and 2006, Palin and her husband continued to make disparaging allegations against Wooten, even after she went to the statehouse.

Tasering your own kid? And he's still a cop?
