Unfortunately it sounds like it’s been 6 years since the court ordered the sale so there’s nothing you can do to ask for reconsideration at this point. You may be able to ask for reimbursement of the taxes, but there’s a possibility that the court would deny that.

The stepfather has no automatic custodial rights but MAY be able to move under certain laws to ask the court for time with the children. The bio father MAY. It depends on if the father was married to the deceased mother, and if not, whether the children were legitimized.

Wow! That sounds like a tough situation. There is possibly a path to the father regaining custody. It sounds like a modification of parenting time action is the best route to go. The father should consult with an attorney to discuss how to best navigate the system to get time back with his son.
