The Supreme Court of Georgia raises “serious questions” for a state law of 2019, which enables a judge to give someone mutual custody of the child of a former lover, but the law remains intact.
The righteous law on caregivers that came into force in July 2019 enables someone who is not a legal parent of a child to apply for custody, visits and other rights.
In order to gain such rights, the person must prove that she or she had a “parents” and a “bound and dependent” relationship with the child who was “encouraged or supported” by a parent of the child.
The chairman of the Supreme Court, Nels SD Peterson, commented concerns about the law in a command in a related case.
“This case raises serious questions about whether the fair statute of the nurse violates care, custody and control of their children,” Peterson wrote on Tuesday in the court's statement in Dias against Boone.
In this case, Abby Boone had asked the Supreme Court in Muscogee County to give her a fair status of the nurse about Michelle Dias' minor child. The court decided that Boone had submitted “clear and convincing evidence” that the child would suffer emotional damage by hiring the relationship.
The Court of Justice granted the status of the Boone a fair nursing staff and asked both women to follow an educational plan.
Dias made an appeal against the decision and asked for the constitutionality of the 2019 law.
The Supreme Court of the State on Tuesday stood in a unanimous decision with slides and opened the legal proceedings. But the High Court did not reflect the law.
Instead, the judges gave up a close decision that concentrated on this former couple and found that the law of 2019 did not apply because Boe's relationship with Dias' child was present in front of the child.
