I am a mediator (also awaiting my bar exam results) who works with poly, LGBTQ and non-traditional families. Your analysis of the case is very informative and helpful for me. Sadly, I agree that it would have been more instructive if it had been someone currently in a poly relationship. But I'm glad to see some tempering of family courts' judgment of a parent's non-dangerous relationship structure.

Although the opinion is not binding on judges outside of Pennsylvania, I hope it will influence judges who have to deal with cases like this in other states.Nancy Polikoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582456539859673052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510198324204233853.post-13775192528018287982012-09-30T21:18:34.756-04:002012-09-30T21:18:34.756-04:00Hi!

You analysis is very much in line with my thoughts, but its good to hear from a legal professional rather than relying on my own guesses.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786087161300990343noreply@blogger.com
