[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 458967, member: 6705"] From my point of view... Legally, I still have zero rights. Except when I wave that General Power of Attorney... Which essentially makes me husband, legally. Practically speaking? No one has EVER questioned me (except bio)... Docs, school, juvenile court... No one. One, I share the same last name. Second, I carry multiple photocopies of the POA and just hand them over with medical card, etc. So it's not really an issue. Now, when we first took over residential, bio complained that she had to show the custody order to everyone. Well... husband is STILL having to do that, even now (they used to have shared parenting...). Strangely, I've never had to... Hmm. I mentioned bio questioned me. She actually told the schools (back when she had residential) that my POA was worthless. The schools looked at it and rolled their eyes. She complained to her lawyer that it was illegal for me to have the POA. And shortly after that, she quit saying a word... But... Steps can't do a whole lot. [/QUOTE]
