In 'Unique' Case, Judge Grants Legal Custody of 1 Child to 3 Adults
New York Law Journal ^ | 03.09.17 | Joel Stashenko

Calling it the logical extension of the legalization of same-sex marriage and the...expansion of unmarried partners' custody rights in New York, a judge has granted "tri-custody" of a boy to a man and two women who have all helped raise the youngster.

Justice H. Patrick Leis III said in his March 8 determination that both biological parents of a child identified as "J.M." have shown their love and concern for the now-10-year-old—but so has the woman named "Dawn M." who brought the action seeking the unique "tri-custody" arrangement.

The biological mother of the child, "Audria," supported Dawn M.'s petition for a formal custody arrangement. Audria and Dawn M. were romantically involved at the time of the child's birth, and the biological father, "Michael M.," acceded when the child was born to having both Audria and Dawn M. serve as joint mothers to the child he fathered with Audria through natural means, Leis' ruling said.

Mike M. was also romantically involved with both women and was married to Dawn M. until a divorce action was commenced in 2011. The boy now lives with Dawn M. and Audria, while, prior to Leis' ruling, Audria and Michael M. had shared joint custody.

Leis ...said he can find nothing that prevents tri-custody in the Marriage Equality Act, which legalized same-sex marriage in New York, nor in the state Court of Appeals' ruling in Brooke S.B. v. Elizabeth A.C.C. In Brooke S.B., the court expanded the definition of a "parent" for visitation and custody purposes to the nonmarried, ex-partner of a biological parent in a decision hailed by homosexual rights advocates

"Tri-custody is the logical evolution of the Court of Appeals decision in Brooke S.B., and the passage of the Marriage Equality Act ...which permits same-sex couples to marry in New York," Leis wrote

The man and both women were lovers, and the two women were lesbian lovers. God help this kid.

Down the slippery slope we all knew the “same sex marriage decree” would produce.

Hopefully, the kid can one day sue the judge for his mental health treatment.

Anyone who thinks that traditional marriage is not an issue worth fighting for, think again

Why stop there. Now include “Interested 3rd Party” and “Stalker” to the mix. Good times for all.

Child trafficking by sex offenders is now sanctioned by sick judges who secretly long to have personal access to little boys. The sickness of these crimes only gets worse.
