[QUOTE="nlj, post: 640357, member: 17650"] Yes maybe that's possible. I don't know how the system works in the US. Custody doesn't exist in the UK. We have Residence Orders which say where a child should live, but they don't affect parental responsibility. Removing parental responsibility from a parent, even one who hasn't seen the child for many years, is very rare and would only happen in extreme cases here. For a step-parent to gain parental responsibilty this would have to be agreed by the absent parent and approved by the court. A step-parent could apply to adopt, but that would only happen with the consent of the absent parent and can be very difficult to achieve in other cases. [/QUOTE]
