Stories of being disowned by family and termination of long-term friendships are common. Even when family and friends accept you for your true self, the dynamics of each relationship changes. Now imagine, if you will, a woman in a heterosexual marriage with children making the decision to come out as a lesbian. One of the biggest concerns for a woman in that situation has always been custody of the children. Many lesbians who divorce their husbands continue to lead very closeted lives for fear of a protracted custody battle with their ex.<br \/>\nfor the full story go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outlookpress.com\/childcustody.htm\" target=\"new\">here<\/a><br \/>\nThis is referring to a case here in OK that is cited in several cases I have been looking at, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oscn.net\/applications\/oscn\/deliverdocument.asp?citeid=4201\" target=\"new\">Fox v. Fox<\/a> which in fact number 9 states this<br \/>\n&#8220;The father&#8217;s custody motion was grounded in his assertion that the mother&#8217;s sexual proclivities are immoral and in contradiction of religious values. However, the father testified that he is not aware of any direct harm to the children and that there are no signs that the children&#8217;s school performances and behavior patterns or their relationships with the immediate and extended family, peers, and community have been adversely affected by the mother&#8217;s behavior. And, the father did not present any evidence to prove the essential determinative factor &#8211; a significant change of circumstance that directly and adversely affects the children. Hence, we find that the father failed to meet his burden of proof as established in Gibbons v. Gibbons, David v. David, and Gorham v. Gorham, supra.&#8221;<br \/>\nthis does differ slightly from my case due to the fact that I filed for the modification in my case, due to their father not following the agreement that we came up with when we divorced, however he is trying to use my being a lesbian (and the Internet) against me. I have yet to find anything with reference to the Internet in a case like this, but I don&#8217;t see how he can use it when I don&#8217;t even get on the darn computer when the kids are up!<br \/>\nThere is also the fact that to my knowledge (unless someone else has told them)<br \/>\nmy kids don&#8217;t even know, I am EXTREMELY discreet, as I feel you should be when it comes to relationships and children, even in a hetero relationship. Your kids don&#8217;t need to know what goes on behind closed doors in your bedroom, period.<br \/>\ncomments on this are very welcome, I would love to hear what you think of this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>an excerpt from Outlook Press Ask any lesbian and she will tell you that coming out was probably the most stressful time in her life.
