Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

stepparent duties
my husband shawn recived full permanent coustody of his daughter Tiffany over a year ago. the mother of his daughter claimed that she could not pay child support due to the fact that she was pregnant and on bed rest. the judge told her that after she had the baby that she would need to come back to the court and present a check stub so she could pay her support. she has not done that at all. as a matter of fact she worked all through her pregnancy and is still working. my husband and i got married 2 years ago and i have been taking care of Tiffany as if she were my own. i take her to the dr. i enrolled her in school,i take her to school and pick her up every day, i feed her clothed her bath her, i do EVERYTHING for her.the greatest reward is she loves me for it. i know i have no legal rights to my stepdaughter. her mother is mad because i have enrolled her in school she is mad because i take her to the dr.. my husband works very hard to support us. i stay home to take care of my step daughter and take her where she needs to go so he don't loose his job taking off work when she needs something done for her. can we lose her for me making sure her needs are taking care of. i'm just trying to be a good stepmom.

Re: stepparent duties

The short answer is NO your husband cannot and will not lose custody for simply taking care of Tiffany.
