Stepparents' rights if the birth parent dies - Page 3

I have mentioned this at different times to DF. Especially because Joey and Aaliyah will have a blood sibling by me in August.

There mom and I have a good relationship. I would hope she would allow me some visitation. I know Jose's mom would fight me and her for it though. Not sure how that would hold up.

A weekend visitation once per month would be nice.

We aren't even legally married yet which REALLY scares me. I am waiting for my divorce to be finalized. I would never want to take them full time, there mom deserves them more than me, plus I think they would prefer to be with her. I worry because DF has had cancer 2 times and is has another growth that he needs checked out.

Wow. This thread makes me so glad and greatful that I have a good relationship with DSS's mom. I know she would never keep him from seeing me.

Conversely, DH and I would never keep DSS from seeing his stepdad, either. Sdad has been really good to DSS and is an important person in his life. I can't imagine living with myself if I was just like, "Meh! Go away, legal stranger!"
