As step mother you only have limited rights to care for your husband's children - and they are found in your divorce decree. A step parent is considered surrogate care, but is generally favored over commercial care.
If mother is working during father's week, you should be allowed to have the children while your husband works.
It may take a change to the divorce decree.
You may call for a free consultation.
