[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dumb question here...

If OP's DD converts, and a decade later they divorce for whatever reason, would that impact custody of the kids? What if DD wantsbto become a Christian again?

(I would support my kids to convert to religion X is they truly believe in religion X, but I'd be very suspicious if either wanted to do so as a response to fiance's demands)[/quote]

Custody is a civil matter, so I am not sure how it would effect that.

If you mean would it impact the Jewish status of the kids, the answer is maybe.   There is a notion in Jewish law that a ger (a convert) who goes back, was never a sincere convert to begin with, and so is considered never to have become a Jew. OTOH most rabbis (and rabbinic courts) would I think, try to avoid creating problems for children who have been raised as Jews in a situation like this, so they might be inclined to not annul the conversion.

If they did the kids could convert themselves, and could probably do so in a simpler than standard ceremony that recognized that in some sense they were already Jews  "giyur lechumra"  (IE a conversion for strictness)[/quote]
