Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

My friend is thinking of leaving her husband but she is very close to his daughter, really she is the only mother the child has ever known. He has sole custody of the child her biological mother is dead, does my friend have any rights to visitaion or anything if they get divorced? I suggested she adopt her then leave him and get custody.

So you suggest your friend commit fraud by adopting her stepchild? I hope you get caught.
