Because the world is a screwed-up place, a judge has granted two women and a man who jointly raised a child but have now split up “tri-custody” of a 10 year old boy.
A Long Island threesome who split after they raised their son with two mothers and a father have been granted ‘tri-custody’ of the 10-year-old boy in a historic New York ruling.
Michael, 50, and Dawn Marano, 47, from Bay Shore had been raising their son along with their downstairs neighbor Audria Garcia, 48, the boy’s biological mom, The New York Post reported. Suffolk County Supreme Court Judge H. Patrick Leis III granted custody to all three parents in an unprecedented ruling.
The Maranos married in 1994 and had been living in a conventional marriage up until they began to have ‘intimate relations’ with Garcia when she moved in with the couple in 2001.
In 2007, Mr Marano and Garcia conceived their son because Mrs Marano was infertile, court documents state. The threesome agreed raise the child together.The wife’s insurance covered Garcia’s pregnancy and the two women nursed the baby and attended doctor appointments together.
After 18 months in the polyamorous relationship, the threesome split in 2008 when Mrs Marano and Garcia moved into a new home after they decided to have their own partnership.
In a historic ruling Suffolk County Supreme Court Judge H Patrick Leiss III granted all three parents custody.
The breakup took a messy turn when Mr Marano sued Garcia for custody of their biological son and Mrs Marano filed for divorce, the paper said. The case went to trial after the biological parents agreed to joint custody, but Mr Marano opposed his ex-wife’s custody bid. Dawn Marano had filed a suit asking for rights for the boy because she is not a legal or biological parent to her son.
After the boy testified in court and identified the two women as his ‘mommies’, Leis granted Dawn Marano Wednesday nights with the 10-year-old.
This is what we’ve come to, folks. Three insanely selfish adults who apparently have no concept of the long-term consequences of their actions get to completely f*ck up some little boy’s life because their disgusting experiment went wrong. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?!?! Surely no one could have guessed that a polyamorous relationship where three people jointly raise a baby could EVER turn into a messy situation. This was supposed to be all rainbows and butterflies and threesomes with your roommate forever and ever!
Shame on these people for being selfish a**holes, and shame on this Judge for setting a precedent that allows for this kind of foolery. Seriously messed up.
At the end of the day, the victim will be the child. Children in split-custody families have a challenging time as it is balancing different homes and schedules (No judgement here. My parents are divorced), now IMAGINE a kid who has to deal with all of that, two moms, and a dad who thought it would be fun to get with two ladies at the same time. Sounds like a real winning combo. I guess at least he’ll have three people to contribute to his MASSIVE THERAPY BILLS.
