MULTI-PARENT FAMILIES, REAL AND IMAGINED

NeJaime, Douglas
Abstract
The article presents the discussion on parentage reforms at the state level including multi-parent statutes. Topics include accommodating LGBTQ+-parent families and other families created through assisted reproduction; multi-parent families existed for decades in families with children conceiving through sexual procreation by different-sex couples; and actual arrangements of the family leading a child for splitting time across multiple households.
