Evergreen State Supremes issue 'de facts' on 'de factos'
The Washington State Supreme Court ruled today that a woman who raised a child for the first six years of her life while in a relationship with the kid's biological mother can seek parental rights as a "de facto parent" to the youngster. This new class of parent is not to be confused with a "de fatso" parent, who should probably seek nothing more than the nearest Weight Watchers; a "deaf actor" parent, such as Marlee Matlin; or a prone to say "de facts, ho" parent, who should really learn to show some respect for women.
Wait, what were we talking about? Oh yea, parental rights battles...
The case will now return to a lower court, where the woman, Sue Ellen Carvin, will get the chance to try and prove that she shares enough of a parent-child relationship with the youngster in order to legally double the kid's Mother's Day expenses. Good luck to all, and may the best situation for the child win.
