Gay Divorce is Friggin Hilarious When Kids Involved
Under Virginia Law, gay marriage cannot be recognized within the state. If you collect any benefits from a state that allows gay marriage, you cease to collect those benefits in Virginia. We Virginians voted that way. So when a former gay parent, who is recognized as a “sole parent” under Virginia Law refuses to play nice during a custody dispute with her ex-partner, Vermont courts rule that the birth mother now must send the child away indefinitely to Vermont.
From LibertyCouncil here:
The Vermont trial court recently ordered that Lisa must send her own daughter to live with Janet, despite the fact that the same court has repeatedly found Lisa to be a fit parent of Isabella. The Vermont court has ordered the transfer of custody to take place by January 1, 2010.
Unrefuted testimony has shown that for the last five years, Janet has neither attempted to phone nor write Isabella. She has never sent Isabella a card of any kind for any occasion. Janet has refused to attend Isabella’s Christmas plays, because she does not want to be around a Christian environment. She has also said that it is not in Isabella’s best interest to be raised in a Christian home.
According to this LA Times article, the kid must go to the non-birth woman. If you ask me, the kid should go to the father.
