[Gay State Conservative]

I'm no lawyer but it seems to me that given that VA doesn't recognize homosexual “marriage” no court there is likely to compel the mother to give up the child.The courts of VT can go fornicate themselves.

VT is where the couple married and that’s where the custody agreement is filed. VA is likely following a reciprocity agreement of some sorts. Parents cannot cross state lines and expect the courts of the new state to carry their water for them.
