Legal recognition of LGBT parents shifts state-by-state
A heterosexual couple who adopted three children together in the state of Illinois moved to Michigan several years later. As often happens, things ended and the couple went to court to determine custody of their children. To their surprise, the court determined that neither the man nor woman is considered the legal parent since Michigan has different adoption laws than Illinois, so the court refused to even hear the case. What should have been a straight forward custody case escalated into a protracted legal battle that needed to be decided by the Michigan State Court of Appeals.
