Judge Flips Coin to Decide Which Parent Kids Stay with for Christmas

	posted by Scott on Friday February 08, @12:59PM from the divorce dept.
	Ganglion42 sent in this story which states that a family court judge flipped a coin to decide which parent would have their children over Christmas. Ganglion42 writes "Finally! A judge who does something where she can't be accused of bias!" In a situation where both parents have an equally good case for visitation, I don't mind this much at all, given that other options are generally so biased against men.

Support this judge (Score:2) by Nightmist (nightmist@mensactivism.org) on Friday February 08, @02:14PM EST (#1) (User #187 Info) The new co-chief judge, Kelly, expressed surprise that Brown would decide an issue with a coin flip. Just last month, Kelly said, a fathers advocacy group gave Brown an award for respecting the rights of fathers. This judge apparently needs our support. Read the story carefully. She's being denounced by her own superior here, even though what she did (according to the lawyers) doesn't really violate or ignore the law (she was under no obligation to even consider the grandparents' wishes for Christmas custody).
