Summary
In Daly v. Daly,1 the Supreme Court of Nevada upheld a district court decision to terminate a transwoman’s parental rights, largely because of her gender identity. The woman at the heart of the case was Suzanne Daly. Suzanne (then Tim Daly) had been married to Nan Daly. Together, they had raised a daughter, Mary. After the dissolution of their marriage, Nan was granted custody over Mary, while Suzanne (still as Tim) enjoyed visitation rights with the child. Once Tim transitioned to become Suzanne, Nan sought, through legal and illegal means, to separate Mary from Suzanne, eventually petitioning a Nevada district court to terminate Suzanne’s parental rights. The district court granted the petition, and the Supreme Court of Nevada affirmed.
