I have some better questions.... if they are children

Can you deduct them as dependents on your State and Federal income taxes?
If they get divorced who gets 'custody' of the children?
Do standard child support laws apply?
When they have been around for 18-21 years are they now considered adults?
At that time could the parents apply for welfare as their adult child is 
unable to work?
If something happens that makes them "wards of the state" will the state 
continue to pay for their needs until the end of time?

Yea, I think the Court screwed the pooch on this one.
