9th Circuit Court of Appeals: Still looney after all these years

[C_Fresh]

Quote:Once you are dead, a judge will decide who your children will go to unless there is a married parent still alive. You cannot will children to certain people.

Are you referring to homosexual partners or partners in general? According to what I'm read, you can appoint guardians for children and the courts only decide custody if this is not in place. Biological/adoptive parents both have automatic guardianship rights if the other partner dies. From what I see, the only thing you can't do is declare a guardian in place of the other biological parent.
