Glud v. Glud
Texas Court of Appeals
641 S.W.2d 688 (1982)
- Written by Whitney Kamerzel , JD
Facts
William Glud (defendant) and Linda Glud (plaintiff) were married, had two children, and were subsequently divorced. In the divorce action, the trial court heard evidence that both Gluds were loving parents who could provide for the children’s needs and well-being. In appointing a managing conservator over the children, the trial court stated that a man would have difficulty raising two boys the way a woman could and therefore selected Linda to be the conservator. William appealed the child-custody order, arguing that the trial court gave custody to Linda based on the judge’s personal bias toward women, in violation of Texas law.
