The civil union is from 2000. The former partner has not seen the little girl since she was just over a year old.
That’s five years. Hardly a convenient last minute conversion.
Inclination may be not be voluntary, but sexuality is a choice. This women has chosen not to be a lesbian for five years.
And leaving that aside for a moment, do you think the court would be entertaining this case if it was a non-related male trying to get sole custody of a former lover’s daughter? Ha! Unless he could prove some kind of physical abuse he’d be laughed out of the courthouse, and rightly so.
You do have a point there. I do not agree with the judges descision. it is crazy.
