Indiana Court Seeks Legislative Guidance on Same-Sex Custody

An Indiana appellate court asked for legislators to address custody issues involving children of same-sex and other non-traditional families in which an "intended parent lacks a genetic connection to the child," according to the Associated Press. "'What began as a trickle is rapidly becoming a torrent, and the number of children whose lives are impacted by rules that have yet to be written only increases with the passage of time,' Judge Ezra Friedlander wrote in the opinion, 'They, and we, would welcome a legislative roadmap to help navigate the novel legal landscape in which we have arrived,'" according to the AP.
