Mom Wins Over Grandparents

The Supreme Court recently sided with a Las Vegas woman who has been mired in a nine-year custody battle with her parents.

In an order filed May 8, the state's high court upheld the February 2008 decision of then-Family Court Judge Nicholas Del Vecchio to award Chastity Primmer primary physical custody of her firstborn child, Jacob.

It is good, in this age of thoughtless granting of custody of precious children, that once in a while a judge will see the light.
