It's one of the most striking details in Texas State Senator Wendy Davis's life uncovered by Dallas Morning News reporter Wayne Slater: in 2005, Davis, apparently eager to advance her career, relinquished custody of not just her child with her second husband, Jeffry Davis, but also her first child from another marriage.
"It's not a good time for me right now” Davis said at the time, explaining her decision, according to Jeffry Davis.
Wendy Davis's first daughter Amber, born during her first marriage to Frank Underwood, was 23 at the time – an adult. Her daughter with Jeffry, Dru, was 17.
The Tarrant County Court granted the divorce on November 15, 2005, giving Jeffry Davis "the exclusive right to designate the primary residence" of Dru.
Wendy Davis was given weekend visitation rights and required to pay $1,200 per month in child support to her ex-husband.

And hooked up with her second husband immediately, it sounds like. Not much "struggling single mother" time.
Nonetheless, you don't have "custody" of a 23-year-old, which her older daughter was at the time of the second divorce. (What complicated lives people have!) I suppose it's more like she said, "Sorry, get out of my life. Maybe you can live with your ex-stepfather."
She looked like Roseanne Rosanna Danna
IIRC, the column is titled, "The Swift-Boating of Wendy Davis."
Court ordered to stay away from drugs and alcohol before visitation with children
Not that it matters a lot regarding the age of the older child since she is
over 18 but Wayne Slater in his article from which most of this is coming
from uses the following:
snip
Amber was 21 and in college. Dru was in ninth grade. Jeff Davis was awarded
parental custody. Wendy Davis was ordered to pay $1,200 a month in child support.
end snip
She has sure had a lot of work done.
Hookers have more integrity than this woman. With a Hooker you know the price in advance and the exit strategy.
...”a Texas court put Davis under a temporary ‘restraining order’ prohibiting her from using drugs or alcohol within twenty-four hours of coming into contact with her children”....
From your link....but it’s no small matter for a judge to issue a restraining order from her kids. Regardless of what excuse Davis will give....to “protect children” means somebody is a potential threat.
Your children and grandchildren are all you leave on this earth that have any value when you depart from it. Just hard for me to understand why she or any other woman could possibly allow anything to become more important in her life outside of God and her family.
Who are these people? Even her (second) ex-husband seems to say, “Hey, if you get a chance to hit the big time, of course you abandon your family. Who wouldn’t?”
$1,200 isn’t chicken feed...so where was she working at that time one would wonder....but then this gal doesn’t make a step without counting the cost along the way.
I think she’ll bank on the fact Progressives will come to her defense and not care....and doing so to make her supporters believe..”What difference does it make!”
Highly unlikely. "Family courts" hate men. They will bend over backwards to give kids to crack whore mothers over perfectly respectable fathers. The only way she doesn't have custody of her kid is because she didn't want custody. Lots of jobs depend on the billions in government subsidies and transfer payments that this political dynamic provides. But I'll go out on a limb and say she never paid a penny in child support.

How is it that she had "custody" of a 23-year-old?
so where was she working at that time
**********
After she graduated from Harvard in 1993, Wendy Davis started her own
law practice and worked with her husband at the title company he founded.
During her failed 1996 City Council campaign bid, Davis was the subject of ‘negative news coverage’ in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, including an editorial which criticized her negative campaign tactics.
.... Subsequent to her electoral loss, Davis filed a libel lawsuit against the paper, and parent companies The Walt Disney Co. and ABC Inc., to attempt to obtain an award for damages.
In her suit, Davis claimed that the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s editorial had damaged her mental health and infringed upon her “right to pursue public office.”
The judge threw it out of court!...Rubbing salt in the wound, the court wrote in its 3-0 decision that they ....“cannot conclude a person of ordinary intelligence would perceive the statements as defamatory.” ( HAHAHAHAHA!)
She tried to take it to the Supreme court who refused to hear it!

So he was still supporting her by giving her a job while her business started up...even that she didn’t do without his money.
There’s a name for what we use to call this gal!
