A Florida man is fighting to stop paying maintenance to his ex-wife - because she's now a man.
Lawrence Roach, of Seminole, says his ex-wife has had a sex swap op and is now living as a man.
He says he should be allowed stop paying his £650 monthly alimony payments, reports Bay News 9.
"This isn't right. It's humiliating to me and degrading," he said.
"You know, I'm a man and I don't want to be paying alimony to a man. If you can't be married to a man legally, how can you legally pay alimony to a man?"
Roach and his ex-wife, who Bay News 9 did not identify, divorced 18 months ago after being married for more than 17 years.
