That is an interesting and important question.

There was at least one case where the partner was held to be a parent, but that was based on a stipulation. The case was Kristine H. v. Lisa R. (2005) 37 Cal. 4th 156.

I suggest that you contact the attorney who handled that case. Her name is Leslie Ellen Shear. She is an outstanding family law attorney on issues like this, although I believe she may now limit her practice to only appellate law. Her website is here: http://www.custodymatters.com/
