It’s actually hard to get all of the facts in this case, as Texas (like most states) keeps family court records private to “protect the interests of the children”. Well, sometimes that’s true. But more often, it conceals the way that fathers get screwed over in family court, which is at the root of this situation as well.

The family court judge in Dallas County awarded the ex-wife basically sole custody of the boys last year, though Younger is supposed to have to agree to any hormone treatment or other permanent interventions. The urgency here is that even if there are additional legal remedies that could be pursued, the ex-wife is now in California, where it’s both more expensive and procedurally difficult for Younger to assert his remaining parental rights.

One possible course of action would be, in the event the ex-wife starts hormone treatments for the boy, and the father finds out, he could bring a case in California to enforce the Texas family court’s order requiring the father’s consent. Seems like a long shot.

Did the father do anything that he was denied custody? Why was the mother given sole custody?? The son is stuck in the middle of this horrible situation and the mother is really sick in the head, but too many things don’t add up.

Except CA's new laws basically prevent anything like that from happening.
