A Maryland court on Tuesday lifted a custody restriction prohibiting a gay father from residing with his life partner.

The court ruled that the restriction, which was imposed by a Virginia court, was harmful to Ulf Hedberg’s 13 year-old son.

The judge found that the child did not understand why his stepparent, Blaise Delahoussaye, was forced to move out of the family home and was upset and saddened by his absence.

“This is an important ruling which acknowledges the best interest of the child," said attorney Susan Silber who represented Hedberg.
