Re: stepdaughter
Legally? Take? You have no parental interest in this child. If you want to take her legally, you will have to obtain a court order through a Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship and, likely, a Temporary Restraining Order. If this issue is important to you, discuss this sitution with a family law attorney in your area.
