Christian mom's arrest ordered in lesbian custody case
RUTLAND, VT - A Vermont judge has ordered the arrest of a Virginia woman
who renounced homosexuality, became a Christian, and disappeared with the
young daughter she had with her ex-partner. Judge William Cohen found Lisa
Miller in contempt of court and issued the arrest warrant Tuesday.
Miller and Janet Jenkins were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000,
and Isabella was born to Miller in 2002. The couple broke up in 2003,
and Miller moved to Virginia, where she became a Christian.
Cohen initially awarded custody to Miller and gave Jenkins visitation
rights, but he ordered a switch in custody in November after finding
Miller in contempt of court for denying Jenkins access to the girl.
Miller's attorney Stephen Crampton said by phone during Tuesday's
hearing that he did not know where the girl or Miller are and that he
objects to the arrest warrant, which applies only in Vermont. Jenkins'
attorney said it would be up to the Rutland County state's attorney to
seek a national arrest warrant.
