There can be no suit for custodial rights unless the biological parents have been notified of the action and given a chance to respond and/or file a countersuit. An exception of the law might be, if the biological parent has voluntarily relinquished parental rights and the court has agreed or the court has issued an order permanently terminating parental rights to the child in question.
