New York’s Craziest Custody Case: Four Parents, One Child

New York Post ^ | August 30, 2015 | Kathianne Boniello

She’s seen paternity battles, struggles for alimony, vicious tugs-of-war over children, but veteran family attorney Susan Bender had never handled a custody fight quite like this.

A gay male couple donated sperm from one of the men to a lesbian couple, resulting in a baby. Each couple bought identical New York apartments and decorated them exactly the same. The intention was to split the year into four quarters and rotate the primary parenting duties amongst themselves.

The complex plan was intended “so that they could all parent the child or children in some meaningful way,” the attorney said. “They were good people and they loved this child, but within nine months the experiment collapsed.”

Why are you posting this tabloid article without any comment?

Are you just trying to junk this site after being run off the political threads?

In fairness, the identical apartments was probably so the kid would have familiar surroundings as he/she was transferred from group to group, which can be important when they’re young.

They were good people and they loved this child

No they weren't and no they didn't.

Experiment with children. How progressive! We’ll put little Johnny in dresses and make him think he’s a girl! What could possibly go wrong?

[Chode]

children are NOT toys, they are NOT accessories and they are definitely NOT SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS!!!

[nickcarraway]

This is a political thread. Are you mad because you are an LGBT activist? Stop hijacking every thread?

You think there should be no criticism of the LGBT movement?

[struggle]

And of course, no one looks at the child, who would just like to be like all those other kids with a real mom and dad.

It could be worse... It could have been an article from The New York Daily News...

Now that is a tabloid.

No. If I were super rich I would have many places exactly the same just to mess with people’s heads.

Kind of like fast food. The theory was if people could get the same food at the same place no matter where they are in the the world they would love it. Reality doesn’t work that way.

LOL, Nick, I think someone has started to give you a bit of your own medicine.

[cherry]

they’re awful people.....to do this to a child......how would they have liked to have 4 adults shuttled in and out of their lives when they were babies and toddlers.??? Its unimaginable..

[MeshugeMikey]

I know I was being horribly sarcastic!

but I do wonder who the interior decorator of the group was....

[Celtic Conservative]

Quit being a confrontational d¡ckhead.

If it was good food, yes.

I post on Trump threads, about Trump, not something off topic. You just don't like what I post. You guys are just like Obama voters. Anything against your messiah should be suppressed.
