What is the name of your state? MO
I already knew that step-parents were doormats in the eyes of the courts, but here's my additional question regarding rights if something were to happen to the child's mother who has physical custody:
The father molested the girl when she was almost 4 and sat in jail for 18 months through 2 hung-juries, and now isn't allowed to have contact with her. Surely the courts wouldn't force her back into his lap...who's next on the list? Grandparents?
thank you
(I am the step-father)
