Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson has filed a motion, seeking clarification of a court ruling striking down a ban on same-sex couples becoming foster parents.
Peterson says the recent Supreme Court ruling clearing the way for same-sex marriage settles the issue of whether same-sex married couples can be foster parents.

Peterson says the Lancaster County court ruling is ambiguous.

The court ruling struck down state policy banning same-sex couples from applying to be foster parents.
