almost three years, but a Collin County judge is forcing them apart.

Judge John Roach Jr., a Republican who presides over the 296th
District Court, enforced the “morality clause” in Compton’s divorce
papers on Tuesday, May 7. Under the clause, someone who has a “dating or
intimate relationship” with the person or is not related “by blood or
marriage” is not allowed after 9 p.m. when the children are present.
Price was given 30 days to move out of the home because the children
live with the couple.
Price posted about the judge’s ruling on Facebook last week, writing
that the judge placed the clause in the divorce papers because he didn’t
like Compton’s “lifestyle.”
“Our children are all happy and well adjusted. By his enforcement,
being that we cannot marry in this state, I have been ordered to move
out of my home,” Price wrote.
Price also mentions that Compton’s ex-husband rarely sees their two
children and was once charged with stalking Compton. She said he also
hired a private investigator in order to bring the case before the
judge. Court records show the ex-husband, Joshua Compton, was charged
with third-degree felony stalking in 2011 but pleaded to a misdemeanor
charge of criminal trespassing.
Price declined an interview until her lawyers figure out the next step.
Compton was granted a divorce from her ex in 2011, according to court records. The case was reopened in April to dispute custody, which she shares with him.
