Justice is UNDONE, AGAIN


Legal shennanigans in the Bevilacqua custody case

Looks like I was a little too eager on the entry Justice is done back on the 8th.

Things are not that simple.

An Update, January 12, 2007.

Magdalen writes:

"I just got the call from my lawyer that the appeals court judge has granted a Stay of the order granting me custody. I never actually got to enjoy that custody during the 30-some hours it was in effect, because the school let Jeff take [my son] and hide him overnight.

"The Stay is conditional on the case being heard at the earliest opportunity, which is in May 2007. Until that time, Jeff's order of Temporary Sole Custody issued by Judge Punch on December 23, 2005 in an ex-parte hearing of which I was not informed, remains in effect.

"The appeals court judge did order expanded visitation for me, so that it will be the standard every-other-weekend visitation rather than the restricted 8-hours per week I've been living with.

"Please let the people know about this, it's really hard when I keep getting all these congratulations in my inbox." – Magdalen


From Modemac: My own apologies to everyone. The announcement last Saturday that the case had been won was the latest we'd heard, until the sudden unexpected turn of events today (Friday, January 12). We sincerely believed the case was over, but unfortunately it is only one more chapter of an ever-increasing tale of injustice. If her final sentence seems especially bitter, this is because she is emotionally exhausted and in shock.



This infuriates me.

It shouldn't matter if it is religion, performance art, sex, or just people going out for dinner. As long as it is legal and takes place between consenting adults, it is not anyone else's business.

The child was not involved. The child was not endangered.

It's one disgruntled man and his lawyer trying to use the lady's unconventional beliefs and actions against her.

It's morality imposed by the force of law.

You might as well declare someone an unfit parent because they are Catholic or Baptist. Or Jewish.

You might as well take a child away because of what color underwear the parent put on that morning.
