In reply to the discussion: Texas Judge Forbids Lesbian Woman From Living With Her Partner [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)9. Convert the house to a legal duplex. Then try to get that judge disbarred. Then appeal the case.
Go to a civilized state, get married there, and present the Judge with a certificate of marriage--make this judge be forced to say that Texas be a state that doesn't recognize another state's valid documents--which means that the state whose document they are rejecting can refuse to recognize TX marriages in return.
Next, hire a good private investigator (perhaps one that is as outraged as I am about this kind of thing who would give the woman a good price) and hopefully find instances of Daddy neglecting or mistreating his kids during visitation--because these nasty divorce/custody cases are all about the leverage.
I wonder if dear old Dad has someone living in HIS house....? Good for the goose, and all that...

More 'liberty and freedom' from a Repuke aka Teabagger judge. It's why Ryan wants more RED states.
