	DivorceNet - Duty to Support Spouse After Sex Change Operation
		The Ohio Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's denial of the husband's motion for relief, finding that the former wife's sex change did not amount to sufficient changed circumstances to warrant modification of the husband's support obligation.
		The court did, however, note that, if the girlfriend began cohabiting with the former wife and contributing to her financially, this occurrence may constitute a sufficient change in financial circumstances to allow the court to revisit the support award.
		The court in Moore clearly held that the only basis to modify a support award is a significant change in the financial circumstances of the parties and that the former wife's sex change, while admittedly significant, did not necessarily affect her financially.

		O’Donnabhain claimed that the sex-change operation was a medically necessary treatment for a psychological condition known as "gender dysphoria." It is estimated that SRS can cost up to $25,000 over the life of a patient to cover required medical costs, including initial surgery and the many years of hormonal therapy.
		Garrett further argues that the IRS decision to allow tax deductions for sex-change operations clearly falls "outside of an acceptable range of treatments." These deductions set a bad precedent for legitimate medical tax deductions and open the flood gates for other fringe "medical" procedures, all with taxpayers footing the bill.
		It is a question of whether or not millions of taxpayers should have to pay for a procedure that serves a minute section of the population and is not widely accepted by the medical community.

	Japanese court rejects transsexual's request to change gender \| News \| Advocate.com

		The rationale for including the stipulation regarding children is that children would be confused should a parent change his or her registered sex, according to the home page of a transgender support group that Mizuno coheads.

		The lawyer added that sex-change operations are not legally approved in Mexico, although this does not mean they are forbidden nor does it necessarily mean they are not carried out somewhere in the country.
		There is no legislation in Mexico addressing a change of gender, and thus, it is not forbidden to undergo a sex-change operation.
