The step father would have to adopt the child. For this to happen, the biological father would have to relinquish all rights through the court system.
Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children. Where the children go when the biological mother dies depends on who has custody, whether the non-biological father has adopted the child, whether the biological father wants the child, and on the laws of the state where all of this is happening.
Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.
Without a Will, he has no clearly defined custodial rights to a stepchild, but unless addressed in a custody decree, neither does the father. Guardianship reverts to the maternal grandparents.
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.
If a father finds out he is the biological father of a child, he has as many rights to the child as the mother does. He can take the mother to court for custody or to set up a parenting plan.
well his biological father is dominican and his biological mother is Italian but his stepdad was black... he said it in a interview
He fights for custody.
only if mum has custody
the biological father is next of kin
No, unless the baby's biological father relenquishes his parental rights, he would get custody of the child if the mother dies, not her husband. The biological father must sign his rights away to the mother's husband.
Unless the biological father has relinquished custody, he can ask the court to grabt custody in case the mother dies or cannot take care of herself.
No he does not.
The childs' father, married or not. Your relationship to the father is irrelevent. The father is the first on a long list of family members. Create a living will if that is not acceptable.
Yes, she can. All she has to do is press suit to have custody awarded, or convince him to give her custody.
No. The biological father have rights. Unless the court find him unfit to have custody then there might be a chance.
If the biological father does not have have legal custody, then, no, he can't.
yes biological fathers may seek visitation and custody rights
