The Alabama Supreme Court recently entered a ruling in the case, Snider v. Mashburn which affirmed a trial court’s change of custody from Mother to Father based on the conduct of Mother’s new husband, providing an extraordinary discussion of the limits of a trial court’s ability to consider religious practices and training when those practices alienate children from one parent.
The Family Law Prof Blog has a very good, though brief, discussion of the case that can be found here. Also, the Birmingham News ran a story about the decision here. – Thanks to Ben Stevens of the South Carolina Family Law Blog for the tip on the article.
