Re: discrimination because of marital status

Sounds like blatant discrimination. Two issues: 1) you probably don't want your child treated there, and 2) raise the issue with not only the health board governing professional responsibility but the state attorney general. Finally, see a local attorney to determine whether there are damages available against this "health care" provider for denial of services based on the parentage of the child in VA.

Re: discrimination because of marital status

If it was a completely private medical facility where you were seeking a primary care physician for your child, there was likely no violation of any law involving a claim of discrimination.

Such private facilities(quite often religiously based) have there own policies and regulations regarding whom they will treat and often refuse to provide care and treatment on a regular and ongoing basis to those whom theu believe would be inimical or simply less than a "good fit" (apparently as in your case)for those policies and regulations. And, as long as no federal or state funds are involved in their operations, they're apparently entitled to do so.
