Can you straighten this out for me?

I am still trying to get this straight in my mind. But I think I might finally have it figured out. Just want to make sure.

My brother married a young girl who was pregnant with another guys son. His name was put on the birth certificate. They later divorced and she married the boy's father but the son kept my brother's last name.

Years later my daughter meets this boy and marries him. So according to his birth certificate he is her cousin but legally he isn't. But if he is her cousin are they legally married? So my daughter married my brother's son who isn't my brother's son but is according to his birth certificate. So I guess I am this guys mother-in-law and aunt? My granddaughter is also my niece? Or am I just this guy's mother-in-law and grandmother to my granddaughter? LOL Only in the south! :)

Update:

It does sound like a soap opera, doesn't it. LOL But it is true. :)

    No, biologically there is no relation between the two of them, so they are not anything to each other. It may be on the birth certificate, but it does not mean anything unless there is blood involved between the two of them.

    They are not related by blood, so any familial nomenclature is strictly perfunctory. Straighten it out in your head in the sanest way for your own well being and don't let any one tell you otherwise. By the way, this sounds like a plot thread on a soap opera.
