She could lose custody over an abortion

Written By Unknown on Senin, 25 November 2013 | 18.18

Lisa Mehos was a pretty Upper West Side housewife with a megarich banker husband and two perfect children whom she nursed until they were nearly 2. "I know it sounds crazy,'' she told me.

Like many wealthy women in their 30s, Lisa also had wrinkle-removing Botox injections and breast implants — "I'm not proud of them.''

And after her inevitable divorce, Lisa underwent another procedure.

She had an abortion. So what?

Happier Times: Lisa Mehos and Manuel John Mehos had two children together before splitting up in 2011.

That first-trimester abortion, which last time I checked was legal in this country, could make a judge strip Lisa's custody of the two precious babies she obsessed, agonized and fussed over from the day they were born.

Lisa and husband Manuel John Mehos, founder and CEO of Houston's Green Bank, split in 2011, ending five years of wedded misery. Now Manuel is waging a scorched-earth campaign for custody of the couple's daughter, Macy, 6, and son, John, 4 — a bizarre battle in which Lisa's fitness as a mother is being judged by standards one might see in Texas. Or the Middle East.

"I'm divorced. I'm not Mother Teresa!'' a teary Lisa told me. "I feel like I've been beaten up and raped.''

Lisa, who lost temporary custody of the kids in August, is now bracing for the possibility that she'll lose them permanently. But as this twisted custody trial drags on, Lisa is fighting back with the only weapon she has at her disposal: She testified that Manuel once tearfully confessed that he had cheated on her with dozens of prostitutes.

Oh, how I worry about those kids.

The custody trial, which started last December, got seriously ugly after Lisa's medical records were subpoenaed by her ex-husband's lawyer.

She was forced to testify last month that she had sex. With a man. Then she got knocked up, and terminated the pregnancy.

Astonishingly, matrimonial Judge Lori Sattler slapped a scarlet "A',' for abortion, on Lisa's chest. The judge sided with Manuel's lawyer, Eleanor Alter, ruling the pregnancy and termination were relevant to the case. Alter argued that Lisa, a Catholic, was a hypocrite because she would not allow Manuel, an atheist, to see the kids over Easter. Also, she may have brought a man home. (Lisa says she slept with the guy at his place as her mother baby-sat.)

"I had sex with someone I knew for 20 years, and I'm somehow this terrible, bad parent!'' cried Lisa.

How did this happen?

The Mehoses were an ordinary Manhattan couple — a rich guy and a woman compulsively monitoring her biological clock.

Lisa, now 38, married Manuel, 59, in New York in 2006. "I obviously loved him,'' Lisa said. "He was very kind to me in the initial stages. I was almost 30, and I wanted babies.''

Those babies were conceived through in-vitro fertilization. Lisa quit her job in marketing to be a full-time mom. After the couple divorced, Lisa got the kids.

Then Manuel was charged in December with battering his ex in front of the kids. Lisa had a black eye, a fractured finger and a hematoma. But he claimed she got the black eye from Botox injections. Believing the case could be not proven, the Manhattan DA's Office dropped the charge.

"It just breaks my heart,'' said Lisa, who now sees her kids on Mondays and alternate weekends. "They're so confused.''

Calls to Manuel Mehos and Alter were not returned. A court spokesman said Judge Sattler will not comment on a pending case.

I don't know who's the better parent. But I detest seeing Lisa publicly shamed.

Sattler is expected to render a final custody decision, likely next month, and Lisa is already planning to appeal what she expects to be an unfavorable ruling.

But two little kids who must absorb their parents' hatred are the ones who suffer most.

Honey, Charles Manson is no 'Family' man

Some women are desperate for love. Then there's the 25-year-old gal who plans to wed Charles Manson, 79. "Charlie is my husband,'' the woman, called Star, told Rolling Stone magazine.

Manson has served 44 years of a life sentence in a California prison for ordering multiple 1969 murders by his twisted "family.'' Evidently Manson, who told the magazine that he's a bisexual who raped a man at age 17, wants to expand his influence.

Star says she craves conjugal visits. California law permits inmates to wed outsiders. Let's hope this insane woman finds a boring accountant instead.

Don't drink to this

A Long Island judge ordered Lindsay Lohan's horror mom, Dina, 51, to undergo a psychiatric exam that could keep her out of jail.

DiLo was arrested in September after, cops say, she was caught speeding
on the Northern State Parkway and blew a .20 —more than twice the limit for DUI — on a Breathalyzer. She has pleaded not guilty to a charge of DUI.

Now Dina's lawyer says she's alcohol-free. No wine at Thanksgiving? We can all be thankful.

Bid you firewell

Hapless smoke eater Wendy Tapia has finally resigned from the city's Fire Department. As The Post reported, Tapia, 31, failed six chances to run 1 ¹/₂ miles without gear in 12 minutes — first suffering from a fractured foot, then a respiratory infection.

But she still graduated with her class from the Fire Academy in May.

Outraged firefighters told me they got only one chance to pass the running test.

At a time when the FDNY tries to shed its image as a white-male bastion, Tapia last week ran the course for the sixth time — and failed, an FDNY spokesman confirmed. She's returning to her job as an emergency medical technician.

"She was treated no differently than anyone else in her situation — including several male firefighters,'' FDNY spokesman Frank Gribbon said.

I think the city dodged a bullet.

Name of the game is hate

The "knockout game'' is here.

A 24-year-old Orthodox Jewish man walking home in Borough Park, Brooklyn, at 2:45 a.m. Friday was knocked to the ground with a lump on his head, police said.

This, after he heard a group of thugs laugh and dare each other to play the twisted game, in which the goal is to knock a stranger to the ground with a single punch. One man was charged with assault as a hate crime.

Knockouts have been reported in six states and Washington, DC, and players often post sick online videos of the attacks. A suspected victim, a homeless man in New Jersey, died in September.

Now cops are investigating eight cases in Brooklyn as possible knockouts. But as Thomas Sowell, senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, wrote in The Post, until now, the outrages have mainly been looked at as isolated incidents rather than what they are: a brutal trend of hate crimes.

Be careful out there.
