What authority can adjudicate child custody issues?

What authority adjudicates them now? 40 something percent of births are out of wedlock.

When my children were minors, we had family designated in our wills to take custody. And I certainly hope you do as well. Back then, we weren't worried about the government giving our children to homosexuals but we still didn't trust the government to make the decision of who should be raising our children in the event of our deaths. No one should. But when a couple dies in testate, generally a family member steps forward. Already an in testate couple risks having their children raised by homosexual couples within their own family.

Our government has legitimized baby killing. They can be trusted on nothing. They should not be allowed to define marriage as there can be no doubt that they will muck it up in the end.

What’s your point? Regardless of the piece of paper or terminology, courts treat the mother and father like a divorced couple. The court decides who receives custody, visitation rules, child support, etc.

If not the State, what institution should do this?

What if one parent flees with the child? Does the other parent have no rights.

Man, I think I’m on DU.
