Seriously people will do anything now days! This man adopted his girlfriend so
he could insure his
childens futures are secured. I have never seen anything so
absurd in my life. This is beyond mind
boggling to me. Adopting you girlfriend
to shield yourself from losing assests that you are being
sued for is wrong. If
you wanted to be serious about adopting someone, why not adopt a child that
has
no family, instead of adopting your "girlfriend" to protect yourself from your
own wrongdoing!
WELLINGTON, Fla. - A Florida business owner with Houston
ties has adopted his 42-year-old girlfriend, it emerged Tuesday, in a civil case
which one judge said was taking the court "into a legal twilight zone."
John
Goodman, founder of the International Polo Club Palm Beach, legally adopted
Heather Laruso Hutchins as his daughter on Oct. 13 in Miami-Dade County,
according to court documents cited by The Palm Beach Post.
The unprecedented
legal move was exposed in connection with a civil case in which Goodman, from
Wellington in Palm Beach County, is being sued for wrongful death over a Feb.
12, 2010 crash that killed 23-year-old Scott Patrick Wilson.
Attorneys for
Wilson's parents, who launched the action, allege the adoption is simply an
attempt to shield assets. The move gives Goodman's girlfriend/daughter access to
a trust fund designated for his two biological children, who both live in
Houston
