A huge personal victory for Rachelle Black of Washington State is also a blow against antigay bias in child custody cases. Washingtons State Supreme Court strongly criticized a lower courts decision to grant primary custody to her husband, Charles Black, ruling that considering Rachelles sexual orientation a lifestyle choice was improper and unfair.
We are not confident the trial court here approached the parenting plan with an attitude of neutrality regarding sexual orientation that fairness demands, Chief Justice Mary Fairhurst wrote in a 30-page opinion.
Rachelle and Charles Black were married for nearly 20 years and raised three sons in a conservative Christian home, according to Courthouse News, which based its report on court documents. In 2011, Rachelle revealed to her husband that she thought she was lesbian.
Charles told friends, family and church members about Rachelles coming out to him, and she started a relationship with another woman, according tot he Supreme Courts summary of the case. Rachelle accused Charles of sexually assaulted her during this time, a claim he has denied. In 2013, Rachelle filed for divorce, and the case went to trial the following year.

So from a biblical perspective, there should not be a problem.
Of course, basing civil custody or divorce agreements on biblical teachings is not Kosher, if you know what I mean.
