Preferred term

stepparents' custody rights  

Definition

  • When biological or adoptive parents divorce, the legal system generally is consistent in how it makes decisions about child custody. When a parent and stepparent divorce, however, there is considerable variability in the amount of physical custody stepparents are granted, if they receive any at all.
