Virginia gives birth mom Lisa Miller-Jenkins full rights in lesbian custody case

A woman who moved to Virginia with her 2-year-old daughter after the breakup of her civil union in Vermont was awarded sole custody of the child Tuesday. Frederick County Circuit Judge John Prosser gave Lisa Miller-Jenkins, 35, full custody of 2-year-old Isabella and ruled that she can decide whether to allow visitation by her former partner, Janet Miller-Jenkins. Janet's lawyers plan to appeal. A Vermont court previously awarded her visitation rights. Press Telegram

Meanwhile, the Winchester Star gets into the dirt, calling Lisa a "former lesbian" for reasons it doesn't explain and airing her allegations that Janet was abusive and didn't try to be involved with Isabella's life. Nonsense, says Janet, who still lives in Vermont. Winchester Star
