Wendy Davis Gave Up Custody of Youngest Daughter in 2005 Divorce

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.

It says something, that the 23yo daughter stayed with her step-father. None of it good. Sad.

I don’t care about any of this. Wendy Davis’s public record is appalling enough to disqualify her and we should stick to that. Looking for personal dirt will only make her look like a victim.

It says something that both daughters are supporting their mother’s campaign, too.

There’s no upside for him in being critical of her, no matter what he thinks now or thought at the time. It’s impossible to know how he really feels.

That explains a lot. Trailer trash...with the emphasis on trash.

Wendy is part of the Left's objective to turn Texas blue. Her winning or losing the gubernatorial race is irrelevant.

She's a foothold, and her job is to bring in leftist donors who will gradually turn the state blue over time.

If I’m not mistaken, Wendy was employed by a high-powered DFW law firm when she divorced her second husband. For someone in her tax bracket (at the time) $1200 a month was chicken feed. The real question is why child support was set so low..let me guess; the family court judge was a Dim (and a pal of Wendy’s), so he did her a little favor.

One more thought: Jeff Davis’s original divorce filing cited Wendy’s extra-marital affair as a reason for dissolving their marriage. Has her boy-toy ever been named? I’m guessing he was a plastic surgeon, judging by the amount of work she’s had done, and her Democrat inclination to let someone else pay for it.

Yes, fortunately for us Texans...we don't have to claim her as one of our own. Cuz, truth be told...she ain't really one of us.

Wendy Davis had two $1 million dollar Texas donors. NY is a drop in the bucket.

State Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, has reported two million-dollar donors
to her campaign for governor: Austinite Carolyn Oliver and Houston’s Mostyn Law Firm.

Wendy Davis left both girls in the custody of her second husband while she went to Ivy League college to earn her law degree. The 23 year old was in her late teens when Ms. Davis essentially abandoned her to go to law school at the Ivy Leagues, instead of SMU law school here in Texas. The 17 year old was in her early teens when essentially abandoned to Dad.

Abandoning a 14 and 19 year old (thereabouts on age) to second husband isn’t as bad as abandoning babies. But leaving the girls with Dad while she left the state to go to law school, then divorcing him AFTER he paid for it, is quite revealing of her character or lack thereof.

She stayed married while in law school out of state. Let him be a cross-country baby-sitter while she went to Ivy League. THEN divorced him.
