Yes, if the father and stepmother are divorced, and if his daughter is still a minor he can prevent her from seeing her stepmother. But if the father and stepmother are still married, that will complicate things, making it rather difficult. He shouldn't expect the stepmother to leave her own home when the daughter comes to visit, and he shouldn't expect his daughter to only visit with him in public places. And if he is still married to the stepmother, then he shouldn't have a problem with her and his daughter visiting each other.
If however his ex is in a same-sex relationship and the step mom is her new gf/wife, he can not. Neither of the parents can dictate to the other one who the child sees when in care of the other parent unless that person is unfit to be around the child and that would require proof to show in court.

∙ 12y agoThis is an issue decided by the courts. Where custody is fully or partly granted to the mother of a child, her current spouse (living with her) cannot normally be excluded. Where the mother is currently separated or divorced from a stepfather (or deceased), the court must rule on step-parent rights, or guardianship.

Does a stepfather have a legal right to maintain guardianship of a stepchild if the biological parent with custody is incarcerated and the biological father wants the child back?
The stepfather would have standing to intervene into the custody case and attempt to be the primary custodian. Ultimately, the court will look at what is in the best interest of the child.
Does a stepfather who raised the child since birth have more right then a bio father?
they should because the stepfather is the dad not the bio father
Does a biological father have the right to know medical issues if he lost custody of his child?
Yes, he is still the father. It's just that the child is not living with him.
In Oklahoma Can a mother and her boyfriend or husband file together for full custody agaisnt the bio father?
A boyfriend or stepfather has no legal right to the child so no, you can not.
How does a biological father sign over his rights to a child if he is not on the birth certificate or has DNA test proving to be the father?
He has the right to petition the courts for a determination of paternity and, if he is the father, the right to pay child support and petition for visitation.
If i sign my parental rights up and i am not the child's biological father do i still pay child support?
You will need to take a paternity test to prove you are in fact not the biological father. A man just was released from jail in Atlanta because it turns out he was not the biological father and had been previously jailed for falling behind on child support payments... Always take the test to be sure and then you can make the right decision.
Can biological mother add step dad to birth certificate without telling biological farther?
The birth certificate can only have one father and only the biological father is allowed to be on it. And only he can sign it. A step parent have no legal right to the child.
Is there a way to avoid the father of a child filing a motion to see the child?
If he has been established as the biological father you can not stop him from petition for visitation. That is his right as a parent. If he somehow is unfit you will have to prove that to the court.
If a boy and girl have a baby at 16 and the girl keeps the baby from the boy and then asked for Child support would this child support come from the boy's mother since she is the only parent?
The biological parents pay for their child, not the grandparents. Both of you needs to get jobs and should have done so before the child arrived. When you petition the court for child support the father have establish paternity so they know he is the biological father. He can also petition for visitation and custody since being the biological father, that is his right. Just as it is the child's right to both parents. You can not choose that the father will have no contact with his child. That is up to the court. He has rights just like you. And so does your child.
Does a child have any rights to contact their biological father?
yes, unless he has a restraining order against you.
Does a child have a right to an inheritance from a dead father if his mother was just a one night stand?
Absolutely. The child is a product of the union between the biological mother and father regardless of how long they were together. He needs to provide for his innocent child.
If your sons biological father has never seen him and does pay child support does he have any rights?
absolutly, he has more rights than a step father because he is the child's biological father, he has a right to see the child if he so chooses unless the court forbids it. everyone has rights nowadays, siblings have rights, counsins, aunts and uncles even grandparents.
