Texas Judges are paid 66 cents on the dollar to their retirement fund for the amount of child support that is being paid off of their 'demands'. A program more expensive than some of the largest Defense contracts. Incentivized to break up families and then charge most amount possible4 child support.

This should be unconstitutional and a denial of due process.
There is no way anyone's retirement funding should be tied to how much money they levy against someone.
I want to say there was a SCOTUS case in the 1920’s or 1930’s out of Ohio where the Judge would get paid with proceeds from fines the city issued and that was ruled as unconstitutional… though there were some oddities (the Mayor was the judge IIRC). I cannot find the name of the case though.
