Austin and Perry: Federal Judge says parents can sue

Austin and Perry: Federal Judge says parents can sue

A new ruling further divides two families even further.

According to court documents, a federal judge has ruled that the family of Perry Cohen can file a lawsuit against the family of Austin Stephanos in state court.

This week’s ruling lifts a former injunction that prevented the Cohen’s from seeking more than $500 in any potential future civil lawsuit.

The Cohen’s asked a judge to move quickly to allow them to file suit in state court. They are citing a statute of limitation that’s approaching later this month.

As of now, a formal lawsuit has not been filed yet.
