A mother-of-two who lost custody of her children because she had an abortion after she was divorced said the process has made her feel like she was 'beaten and raped'.
Lisa Mehos, 38, was married to Houston banker Manuel Mehos for five years before they split in 2011. She had sex with a friend a year later, fell pregnant and terminated the pregnancy.
Now a judge is using this against her and has deemed her an unfit mother, handing temporary custody to her ex husband, who is the founder and CEO of Houstons Green Bank.

I don't know, something is fishy.

A private detective here, a well-placed bribe there, and he provides the information to his lawyer.

(12,287 posts)and this is one of the possiblities...they would have used any reason they could find to take the kids from her anyway. She should fight, but it's likely going to be useless. This is what rich men threaten their wives with if they want to leave...you'll never get the kids.

(145,321 posts)When I first read this story, I was afraid that this divorce was pending in Houston since the husband/father has banks here in Houston. I actually bank at one of these banks. This is clearly the type of stupidity that one would expect from a GOP judge in Texas but I was glad to see that this was a New York City judge.
