Federal Magistrates Court of Australia awards equal, shared responsibility for three daughters to a transexual woman after a three and a half year legal fight
A trans woman has won three and a half year custody battle against her ex-wife in the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia.
The 49-year-old, who cannot be named to protect the privacy of the children, was awarded equal, shared responsibility in all areas except education and health for the former couple's three daughters aged seven, 12 and 17.
The children will live with their mother, who has remarried, but will be allowed to visit their father who has transitioned to live as a woman.
The Australian reports that the eldest two daughters are refusing to see their father.
Federal Magistrate Joe Harman praised both parents in his judgement saying they were doing their best for their daughters in the circumstances, but mentioned the mother's concerns which included allowing the children to be photographed at a Mardi Gras family fun day.
'My gender reassignment is different to my being a parent,' said the plaintiff in court.
