While we're on the topic of non-traditional families: I came across this reference yesterday. Isn't it about time that we welcomed a child's right to support and to continuing exercise of substantial parenting rights where they live in non-traditional families? In Indiana, second-parent adoptions are legal. There, the court of appeals ruled:
A lesbian who adopted her partner’s biological child must pay child support after the couple broke up because she is a legal parent despite the break up. Mariga v. Flint, No. 79C01-9612-AD-55 (Indiana Court of Appeals, February 16, 2005)
