Mom who lost custody of her children because she had an abortion

[ZRT2209]

A mother-of-two who lost custody of her children because she had an abortion after she was divorced said the process has made her feel like she was 'beaten and raped'.

Lisa Mehos, 38, was married to Houston banker Manuel Mehos for five years before they split in 2011. She had sex with a friend a year later, fell pregnant and terminated the pregnancy.

Now a judge is using this against her and has deemed her an unfit mother, handing temporary custody to her ex husband, who is the founder and CEO of Houston’s Green Bank.

1. What possible relevance does this have?

I know what Manuel Mehos attorney say ... I simply can't believe a judge or any rational person could make a relevant link.

American Taliban - Christian Sharia ... no shit!

[ZRT2209]

3. and apparently the father paid for sex and the judge said that was "irrelevant"

[etherealtruth]

11. Sickening

[ZRT2209]

4. the mother had a legal medical procedure

[LuvNewcastle]

2. Poor woman. This is fucked up in so many ways.

That judge has no business on the bench or even practicing law.

[uppityperson]

7. Really, wonder if they can ask for him to be recused from her case as he obviously has some

prejudices that are influencing his ruling in a negative manner.

[el_bryanto]

5. That is bizarre - particularly since the judge ruled that his sexual actions weren't relevant. nt

[uppityperson]

6. Well, you just never know, she killed 1 unborn child, what's to say she will treat the born ones any

better (sarcasm, very strong sarcasm rather than beating my head on a wall).

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! WtF does it matter? Undermines her being Catholic which is what they based custody on? W.T.F? ARGHHHH!!!!!!!

[Comrade Grumpy]

8. That judge is unfit to hear these kinds of cases.

[HappyMe]

9. It seems to me something is missing from the story.

How the fuck would anybody find out she had an abortion?

I don't know, something is fishy.

10. Don't you think that a "Houston banker" would have the wherewithal to find out

anything he wanted to know?

A private detective here, a well-placed bribe there, and he provides the information to his lawyer.

[HappyMe]

13. Meh. 'Houston banker' could mean just about anything.

If it was the people at the clinic, that's a serious damn problem.

[gollygee]

12. Maybe she said she had an abortion

Is she required to keep it secret in order to not have her children taken away?

[etherealtruth]

14. Apparently, the judge allowed the subpoena of Lisa Mehos medical records

After subpoenaing Mrs Mehos' medical records to show that she indeed had an abortion, Ms Alter used the procedure to suggest she was a hypocrite for asking to have custody of her two children over Easter.

21. That makes no sense

[etherealtruth]

22. None of it does to me either ...

Why would the subpoena of these records be allowed ... why would an abortion be relevant to anything .... ?

[Comrade Grumpy]

18. I think he accessed her medical records in some legal maneuver.

[1monster]

25. His lawyer subpoenaed her medical records according to the article.

That's how.

15. Leave a rich man

and this is one of the possiblities...they would have used any reason they could find to take the kids from her anyway. She should fight, but it's likely going to be useless. This is what rich men threaten their wives with if they want to leave...you'll never get the kids.

16. I hope that publicity of this injustice will cause it to be corrected

[ZRT2209]

17. please tweet this story to @TexasTribune @HoustonChron

19. 'Earlier this year, Mr Mehos was arrested for battering his wife

charges that were later dropped due to insufficient evidence after he claimed her black eye was from a Botox injection, not physical violence'

[ZRT2209]

23. Jesus.

[Avalux]

20. The outcome of this case tells us that women who have abortions are bad and unfit mothers.

It makes me sick to my stomach that this happened to her; I can't even imagine what she's going through. That judge needs to be removed from the bench.

24. I am glad that this is not a Houston Judge

When I first read this story, I was afraid that this divorce was pending in Houston since the husband/father has banks here in Houston. I actually bank at one of these banks. This is clearly the type of stupidity that one would expect from a GOP judge in Texas but I was glad to see that this was a New York City judge.
