What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
My husband passed away unexpectedly after five happy years of marriage. He has a son who is 14. My husband and his ex-wife had 50-50 custody and my step-son wants to continue the schedule with me and my daughter (age 17) as his extended family, but his mother isn't likely to cooperate voluntarily. Can I sue for visitation (I know custody would be unlikely) and if so, what do you think my chances are? My step-son is desperate for an answer.
