Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

step fathers rights

I play a very active role in the life of my stepson. I take him to all his appointments, to his special ed classes, he was born premature and has many developmental delays. Unfortunately, our marriage is coming to end due to various reasons, I am curious if I have any rights to him. My wife refused to ask his uninvolved father to release his rights so I could adopt, so I am strictly the step parent. He calls me daddy, and I am his main caregiver because of my wifes work schedule. Do I have any rights?

Re: step fathers rights

Your divorce attorney should advise you about any rights to your step child. I don't know of any such rights.
