Maybe I am wrong here but I believe the only way that can be put into the order is voluntarily.
yes, the way I have understood it is that step parents really have no legal claim to children. I have no rights to them.
I don't know how he will behave. He might let me see his children. I would certainly let him and his children see mine. It's hard to predict his behavior at this time....I think that is what is so scary about it.
I guess I will find out more tonight. I hate days like these. UGH
