Alimony Continues Despite Sex Change

(Clearwater, Florida) Lawrence Roach, 48, tried to get alimony payments to his ex-wife, 55-year-old Julia, discontinued since she had a sex change and became a man named Julio Roberto Silverwolf. Roach contended that his divorce papers specified he pay alimony to a woman and he cannot legally pay alimony to a man.

Circuit Judge Jack R. St. Arnold disagreed and ruled that Roach must continue with the alimony payments. Roach vowed to pursue the issue further while likely hiding the penetrating agony resulting from a chronic case of severely-frosted coconuts. Ironically, his wife gets a pair and his hurt more.

Although Julio, formerly Julia, won the case and guaranteed future payments of $1,250 per month, the transgender crowd was slapped down by affirmation that Florida law doesn't recognize sex changes in people because, by law, gender is identified and documented at birth.

Thanks to several tipsters on this story.
