Q: Thank you for your answer Corwin.
He was never married to the mother. How would you find out if it has been adjudicated? The child in has lived under my wife and my roof, with the father (my step son) for 40-45 percent of the time, this has been on going for 4 years child spends the rest of the time with child's mother, under her parents roof. does this living arrangement give us a stronger position.
A: Normally, you can look up cases online, however, if this is a paternity case it would not show up. If it is a divorce, then it would. If your step son is seeking official parenting time, then yes, the living arrangement would help your case. That said, there are many variables involved.
