Does a father with joint custody have the legal right to tell the mother and stepfather who is a cop not to take his 10-year-old son hunting?

Yes. A parent who has joint custody has equal rights to make decisions concerning the welfare of a minor child. The issue of the stepfather being a law officer is irrelevant. Stepparents regardless of their official position have no legal authority to make decisions concerning a child who is not biologically theirs or whom they have not legally adopted.

Could a stepfather get custody of your 2 girls if something should happen to you you have full custody and their biological father has a criminal history?
In order for the stepfather to gain custody in the event of the mother's death, there would first have to be a number of circumstances. If the father is no longer in jail, has a job, home, and a means to provide the children a safe, stable environment, he would likely be the one to get custody. Having a criminal history doesn't necessarily make a parent unfit. But if he were to sign consent for the stepfather to adopt the children, then the stepfather would get custody.But if the stepfather has not adopted the children, there is also the fact of grandparents, aunts and uncles, in addition to the father, who would possibly try to get custody if the stepfather has not already adopted the children.The best thing to do would be to talk to an attorney and find out what your options are. You should also talk to your family and let them know your wishes should something happen to you.
