Thomas Beatie has been arrested for stalking his former wife, Nancy Beatie, he had admitted putting GPS device on her car two years ago, it was in 2007 that Thomas became that transgender male who received international attention when he became pregnant through artificial insemination, has been arrested.
Earlier this year Thomas had accused Nancy of verbally assaulting him and his new girlfriend, Amber Nicholas.
Thomas and Nancy were married in Hawaii in 2003, and have three children, all of whom Thomas gave birth to.
A judge just granted the two the right to get divorced in August of this year, a divorce that had previously been denied as it was not viewed as legal by some courts.
Maricopa County Family Court Judge Douglas Gerlach had ruled that Arizona's ban on same-sex marriages prevented Mr Beatie's marriage from being recognized as valid.
Gerlach said he had no jurisdiction to approve a divorce because there's insufficient evidence that Beatie was a man when he got married. The judge said the Beaties never provided records to fully explain what Mr Beatie actually had done and not done to become a man. The ruling also noted that Mr Beatie had halted the testosterone treatments.
That all changed when Judge Kenton D. Jones said in a 12-page opinion, 'As the Beaties' Hawaii marriage was lawfully entered in Hawaii and is not deemed void by Arizona law, the marriage is valid within this state.'
