Nebraska Women Denied Divorce

On Tuesday, a District court in Nebraska City denied a divorce to two women. The couple was married in Vermont, but Judge Randall Rehmeier asserted that Nebraska only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman. Thus, he said, he does not have jurisdiction to dissolve the marriage, citing similar conclusions reached in Texas, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Rhode Island.  Despite his refusal to grant a divorce, the judge did address issues of parenting and child support, saying that such action was in the best interest of the child. He granted full custody of the 4-year-old girl to the plaintiff, the child?s biological mother, and ordered the defendant to pay child support and cover educational expenses. The defendant will have weekly and holiday visitation rights, and the judge noted in his ruling that, ?The defendant has assisted the plaintiff in providing day-to-day care and nurturing of the child.?  Related Media Coverage:NCN News Press - January 26, 2011"Judge Denies Divorce to Same-Sex Nebraska City Couple"http://www.ncnewspress.com/features/x1791706637/Judge-denies-divorce-to-same-sex-Nebraska-City-couple
