I've been following the case of Rachel Bevilacqua for quite a while on Boing Boing. It's really sad that she lost custody of her son because of a religiously intolerant judge, and hasn't gotten her son back more than a year after he was taken from her. Her legal bills have exceeded $70,000.

LinkThe story about Rachel Bevilacqua (a.k.a. Reverend Mary Magdalen) lost custody of her son after a conservative custody judge was outraged at the fact that she is a member of the Church of the SubGenius. As a result of appearing in a adult-rated parody of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," custody of her son was taken from her and awarded to the boy's father (the couple was never married). Rachel and her husband have fought a long, expensive battle to win custody of their son, while her ex-boyfriend's legal costs have been entirely been handled by a pro-bono lawyer (who is a friend of his). Legal costs have exceeded $70,000 as of March 2007.
