Today Liberty Counsel is filing its brief before the Virginia Court of Appeals on behalf of Lisa Miller and her six-year-old daughter, Isabella, arguing that Virginia law prohibits the enforcement of a child custody order arising out of a Vermont same-sex civil union.

Yesterday Rena Lindevaldsen, Special Counsel to Liberty Counsel and Assistant Professor of Law at Liberty University School of Law, argued in Virginia Circuit Court before Judge Prosser for Lisa Miller. Although Prosser stated that he does not believe the Vermont order can be enforced in Virginia, he concluded that it is a question for the appellate courts.

The road toward justice has taken a long and winding path, but we believe the courts are getting closer to addressing the core issues in this case. Virginia sovereignty, the definition of marriage and family, and the lives of Lisa and Isabella Miller are all at stake in this case. The people of Virginia have plainly spoken in favor of traditional marriage and have rejected same-sex unions. The Virginia courts must now uphold the Constitution. 

Read our News Release for more details on the legal issues and arguments in this important case. Pray that we are successful in this fight to keep Lisa and Isabella together.

We are also continuing to rally support for Lisa by promoting a group on Facebook called Only One Mommy: The Story of Lisa and Isabella Miller.
