Q: What are the step parents rights and what can I do to change my custody to me? .
I found out recently the my kids dad and stepmom have been lying to my kids since december 2011 by claiming to them that I abandoned them after they moved in with their dad. The dad allowed the stepmom to be shown as the parental guardian instead of me on medical records, doctors appointment, school records, taxes, etc
The stepmom showed my kids texts from adult conversations without asking for permission I have had with the disagreements we have been with child custody.
the stepmom showed adult content to my kids that was on my oldest son facebook without asking me for permission.
the stepmom and dad both have bashed and swore at me and made false claims on texts that neither one have proof off.
I feel that they are detrimental to my kids and the relationship I have and I currently have joint care and custody, considered decree from an temporary judge and my lawyer or the judge did not submit a adequate parenting plan that states when I have visitation
A: You need to hire a family law attorney to establish a custody/visitation schedule and perhaps contempt for involving the children in adult matters. Step parents have no rights unless they adopt.
