Re: military deployment and visitation

I am unaware of any case law that is directly on point, although there is case law that allows a stepparent who was the spouse of the custodial parent to have parenting time rights. However, in that instance the court based part of its decision on the fact that the stepparent had been involved in a custodial type relationship. Your situation is far too complex for forms. Unfortunately, you really need to see an attorney.
