Lesbian mom fighting to keep son in Las Vegas during military deployment

The lesbian mother of a 7-year-old boy is appealing to the Nevada Supreme Court to keep her son in Las Vegas during her four-month deployment to Cuba.

According to an emergency petition filed by Air Force 1st Lt. Michelle Angeles, Family Court Judge William Potter applied a double standard when he ruled the boy must live with his father in Texas until she returns.

“Michelle could only infer the double standard stemmed from her being married to another woman,” according to the document.

The child flew to Texas on Saturday when the high court declined to intervene on an emergency basis. The mother’s lawyer, David Mann, said they now will proceed with a regular appeal.

Angeles, formerly known as Michelle Bagalawis, divorced the child’s father, Johnny Cardona, in January 2012. Both serve in the U.S. military.

The mother was granted primary physical custody of the couple’s son in August 2013. At a hearing in July, Potter ruled that “when one parent is deployed, the minor child shall go to the parent not being deployed.”

After Angeles learned she was going to be deployed, she filed a motion to keep the child in Nevada with her wife, Suzanne, who has been helping care for the child for more than two years.

The father is the father, not the other lesbian.

They will twist ANYTHING in to “discrimination” or a “double-standard”.

The boy’s biological mother is going on a military deployment to Cuba.

The boy’s biological father live in Texas and will be at home.

The boy needs to go live with his biological father while his mother is deployed.

The unrelated “stepmother/father/whatever” has NO rights in this matter.

Mann said he has practiced in Family Court for many years, and judges routinely allow children to remain with stepparents during short deployments.

He left out the pesky little detail that such placements are WITH the other biological parent's consent.

It doesn’t matter if she is a lesbian or into animal husbandry.

She knew the rules when she signed up.

Throw her a** in the brig and prosecute her for refusing her assignment.

Uuuuuhhhhhh, sorry, it’s called “A Family Care Plan.” You signed it, you know what is in it, now STFU and execute your orders, they are still called orders or are they called invitations under this new CIC.

Is the bio father paying child support? Does he have visitation rights?

If he is, case closed, he goes to the dad.

She didn’t refuse any assignment. But i don’t see why she waited until she was going to be deployed to challenge the custody order.

Let me be clear — The family care plan says who gets your child as a single parent when you are mobilized. Once you receive your orders the debate is over the child goes where the child was designated to go. Case over no more discussion. Or, the biological gets custody in the absence of a FCP...not debating whether or not she chose to execute her orders. Stating a fact. Trust me, executed the FCP three times, I am quite familiar.

The other women is not a legal guardian..

it would be like wanting to leave the child with a step parent who has not legally adopted the child..

it appears that the biological father who was married to the mother when the child was born is the legal guardian with visitation rights..

unless hes unfit as a parent he should have the child..

You apparently don’t get it. The normal rules don’t apply when it involves sodomites. (Is a sarcasm tag really needed?)
