Arkansas State Representative Donna Hutchinson is going to have to wait a bit longer for her day in court. One by one, all of the circuit judges in Benton County have recused themselves from hearing her case against her ex-husband, former US Senator Tim Hutchinson.

Apparently, due to both parties' political connections, they have made acquaintance and even forged friendships with the judges in question. Neither party were surprised by the judges' actions.

Donna filed suit in October, claiming her husband is breaching the terms of their 1999 divorce settlement. She claims he is refusing to provide information that would allow her to determine if she's being paid what she is owed.

Politicians quibbling over money. Even in their personal lives they just can't escape it, can they?

Mr. Hutchinson, in typical politico fashion, has responded by saying his ex-wife is trying to intimidate and harass him with this lawsuit. Gotta love politicians — it's always about them.

Donna acknowledges that the monetary amount might be correct, but she wants proof, specifically his tax documents that detail how much he is currently making as a lobbyist.

Since no judges in the county circuit court will take the case, it is up to the Arkansas Supreme Court chief justice to determine who will sit through the proceedings. And you thought scheduling your divorce hearings was tricky.
