Is a step parent responsible for a disabled child
Can a step parent exclude a biological parent from medical insurance access?
The step-parent should petition for custody or legal guardianship.
yes, if the step parent name is assigned to the child.
Only a guardian or parent can do this.
No. Step-children have no rights or interest regarding a step-parent's life insurance unless they are a named beneficiary on the policy. Step-children have no rights in a step-parents estate unless they are named in the step-parent's Will. In that case a step-parent can leave the proceeds of a life insurance policy to a step-child by their Last Will and Testament.
For a step parent to have parental rights over the step child they would have to adopt.
your step grandma and your step grandpa
Yes and no. If the biological parent is proven unfit to care for they're children then the step parent has the right to APPLY for custody of his/her step children. Keep in mind that being married to the biological parent doesn't automatically make them the parent of the children nor does it make them they're legal guardian so there are no guarantees that the step parent will be given custody. If the children are happy with the step parent and no one in the biological parents family protest the application and the step parent is proven fit to care for the child(ren) then most usually the courts will award the step parent custody.
The step parent gets control of the kids. If the step parent doesn't want them, any of the relatives of parent that died can take care of them. If nobody wants them then they go to an orphanage until they are 18.
If your parent and their parent are married then it's your step parent but if they're not then there's no relation.
No as a step parent you have no right to your partners child unless you adopt them.
