    My mistake... the adult step-children and biological children of the 3rd wife.

    I find this to be frightening and can see how it can be abused. HOWEVER, if the "parent" meets the criteria, yes, apparently a parent/child relationship CAN be established and enforced.

    I'm honestly stunned and shocked. No such thing exists in NY - thank goodness!

    EDIT: I sent this to an Attorney friend this AM and he was as surprised as I was. Quite the learning experience.

    I have similar situtation. My mom and dad divorced and my dad got the house, then remarried for 16yrs to a lady with 3 children which are all grown now. Dad died in 2009 and Stepmother died Dec 2010. There is no Will and now is my brother and me left out cause we are stepchildren? Her 3 children are fighting and 2 of the children didn't have anything to do with her but now want everything.

    clbwdb you ALREADY have two separate threads on roughly the same topic. You are supposed to have only ONE thread per topic.

    Mods... can someone combine all both of their (clbwdb) threads into one.

    Don't hijack someone else's thread please.
