That usually not a problem, stepparents usually have no problems here.
I have a friend raising his son alone and is in the Marine Corps. His useless **** ex wife ran off and is out of pocket. So if he gets tapped to deploy his son goes to his mother. Grandparents don't universally have the same rights as parents. Wouldn't it be nice if she could raise his son legally as a son while he is gone?
Who "she"? You tell that he is alone, so who is she? And Grandparants arent going to become "parents". Not that it ever hindered them to take care of their grandchildren until now.
And what do you have to say about the personal examples memebers posted about step parents? Why shouldn't they have the same rights and title if it suits all involved?
They usually do have the rights already. Although Seraosash example may be so beacuse US laws differ in that matter.
If you fail to understand this, I don't want your ****ing help.
