Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act should come into play here. A custody order in one state, if the child was a resident of the state at the time the custody order was given, is valid in all other states. I’m no lawyer, but it seems to me that is what it says anyway. I can’t think of any reason that the custody order would not be valid, even if the civil union was not recognized by the other state.

Philip Z. is on AMG’s board of trustees, as is his mother, and his sister is married to current AMG president Paul Jenks. I don’t see any evidence that AMG shares Philip Zodhiates’ chummy feelings toward anti-Semites; the group appears to be mainly dedicated to wooing Greeks away from the Orthodox church and into conservative Protestantism. It’s all a little ironic, because I doubt that Philip Z.’s Christian Identity-type friends would have much use for Greeks, Orthodox or otherwise.
