Janet Jenkins (left), Isabella Miller (center) and Lisa Miller (right) | Christian Mom Is on the Lam, Unwilling to Give Up Daughter to Lesbian
by Brent Curtis, The Times-Argus
RUTLAND, VT - A Rutland Family Court judge has refused to delay an order that transfers custody of a child from a Virginia mother to her former lesbian partner in Fair Haven.
But with the whereabouts of Lisa Miller and 7 year-old Isabella Miller presently "unknown," it remains to be seen whether the first of its kind parent custody switch takes place when the court order takes effect on New Year's Day.
Miller, who renounced homosexuality, and her former partner Janet Jenkins have been battling over visitation rights since they ended their civil union in Vermont in 2003. After the pair split, Miller returned to her home state of Virginia while Jenkins remained in Fair Haven.
Miller's attorneys filed a motion earlier this month asking Judge William Cohen to delay his order until an appeal in the Virginia court system — regarding whether that state needed to enforce the Vermont order — was decided.
