Re: Guarandianship

It depends. Does the step-sister have a legal guardianship over the child? If so, then it is likely that the step-sister does not need the natural parent's consent.

If there is no legal guardianship, then I would think the step-sister would need the natural parent's consent to take the child out-of-state.
