Just a guess.
The area is probably zoned for single family occupancy. Since they aren't married, it would be considered two-family occupancy. I suspect this is how it's viewed from the city's standpoint.
Thats what I keep thinking, it must be a public housing complex.
parents are married. |
I seem to remember a couple of jurisdictions prohibiting sex toys.
Didn't the Alabama Supreme Court allow the state (or a city) to ban them all together?
Doesn't sound like public housing. They bought the house, and the community (from what I've heard) is a bit more upper class.
I think this law is designed to prevent groups of unrelated people from living in the same dwelling. This couple just got caught in a phrasing quandry, because of the combination of their not being married, and Fondray's not being the father of one of the children.
I'm sure that rw considers this kind of sideshow to have no more to do with the "historic institution of marriage" than shacking up does.
Both are a bad joke.
The difference is that one would be allowed to live in the house they bought here, while the other couple won't.
Good point. As I said in a later post, they'd probably count as a "single family" if Fondray was the father of all the children, OR if they were married.
In other words, conservatism. On FR, of all places.
Then maybe they need to find a community that caters to their lifestyle.
Don't they have blood ties through their children?
In other words, you support judicial activism and eschew strict construction and originalism.
Why are you posting on a conservative board?
Or perhaps the community should rephrase an asinine law.
I have no idea what the precise definitions of the statute are.
Apparently the oldest child is not the father's biological parent.
"They bought the house,..."
Must have a doozie of a home owner's association!
