School's Out but Polygamists Return Home

By Anne Skove, Esq.

While most kids are celebrating the end of school for summer, some of the Texas polygamist children are headed back to the compound on Monday.

According to the AP, a tentative agreement would allow parents to reclaim their children if they show proper identification, take parenting classes, and remain in Texas. Fathers are not required to stay away from the children.

See Texas, Polygamists Reach Tentative Deal on Kids, Michelle Roberts, AP (May 30, 2008).

See also the Texas Office of Court Administration's online information, In the Interest of the Children at YFZ Ranch. This page has links to relevant code sections, orders, opinions, summaries, and more (but, alas, not this particular agreement).
