Bottoms v. Bottoms
''Bottoms v. Bottoms'' was a landmark child custody case in Virginia that awarded custody of the child to the grandmother instead of the mother, primarily because the mother was a lesbian. In April 1993, Kay Bottoms sued her daughter, Sharon Bottoms, for custody of Sharon Bottoms' son, Tyler Doustou. On April 5, 1993 judge Buford Parsons ruled that Sharon Bottoms was an unfit parent and Kay Bottoms was awarded custody of her grandson. Sharon Bottoms was allowed visitation rights two days a week, but Tyler was not allowed in his mother’s home or to have any contact with his mother’s partner."〔() 3〕
==Background==
Sharon Bottoms married Dennis Doustou when she was 18. Though they separated a few months later, Sharon discovered she was pregnant.〔(3 ), additional text.〕 On July 5, 1991, Tyler Doustou was born.
Sharon lived with her mother, Kay Bottoms, for the first few months after Tyler was born. On Memorial Day, 1992, Sharon met April Wade at a picnic. They began dating and in September of that year, Sharon and Tyler moved in with April. A month after that, Sharon and April had a commitment ceremony, pledging to stay together for life.〔(2 )〕
Tyler was spending a lot of time with his grandmother "because Sharon felt overwhelmed by the burden of motherhood." However, after the commitment ceremony, Sharon pledged to be a better mother to Tyler. As such, she told Kay that she would be seeing less of Tyler. In response, in March 1993, Kay Bottoms "asked the local family court for custody and got it."〔()〕
