Legal Question in Family Law in California
step-parents legal rights
What are ALL step-parents legal rights when it comes to being involved with a step-child? I would like to know what decision they can make and how involved they can legally be? I would also like the family code numbers? Thank you.

Re: step-parents legal rights
Stepparents have no rights whatsoever unless they legally adopted child. If they adopted child, then they have the same rights as a natural parent.
