What is the name of your state? CA
Hi,
I got married overseas (Hungary). My wife has a daughter, and they moved here. The ex gave consent for the daughter to move. So I am a stepfather now, I assume without any legal rights. The natural father keeps in touch every day, he and my stepdaughter have a great relationship. However, my wife and I thought that maybe I should have legal rights <without invalidating the natural father's rights) since he's there and I am here. As a stepfather I think I don't have any legal rights as a parent. Do I need to become a legal guardian, or that happened by marriage and immigration to here? Someone pls give me some insight.
Thanks in advance.
