Re: Federal judge strikes down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage
I've read in the past about some tribes where inheritance - for example, next in line to throne - was through the king's sister. Because they KNEW who the kids of the sister were; they couldn't be sure if the king's kids were his own....
(kind of an aside, but not like Scatt's paying attention to anything you're saying anyway)
As I said, if the state does not recognize your claim to a child, they will eventually take custody of that child until some legal recognition can be made. You are not allowed to raise a child that you have no legal claim over. Perhaps that claim will be made through a blood test, but even then, it would require paperwork and most likely some sort of ruling by a court to establish.
The fact is that adoption records and birth certificates or some other legal paperwork is how you legally establish a legal kinship to your children or children you are raising/have custody of. That is legally how it works.
