- <p> JUVENILE DIVORCE COURT
- </p>
- <p> This ought to guarantee a livelihood to untold numbers of
- lawyers: Thomas Kirk, an Orlando circuit-court judge, says an
- 11-year-old boy can sue to "divorce" his parents. Kirk ruled
- that "Gregory K." can seek to sever all legal ties with his
- natural parents so that he can be adopted by a family with whom
- he has been living for nine months. Gregory's lawyers claimed
- that he was abused by his natural parents. Children's rights
- advocates hailed the novel decision.
