Until we take the whole "children as possessions" out of the law, I doubt anyone is going to make much headway here.

Children have to BELONG to someone, and that usually gets defined as one male and one female, normally biological in nature.

Step away from this, and every attempt is made, from a legal standpoint, to define the relationship as rigidly as possible back to this model, minus the biological part. Only two people can claim 'ownership' of a child - of course, the kids, once grown? Usually have other ideas.

You remember when kids got to be part of the settlement in a divorce? I do. One parent getting 'custody' and all that.

You've got better information - if you can relate some of the recent decisions, I'm your best audience right now.
