- My husband is a step-grandparent who loved and supported my daughter until her death, as well as her young son. When she died the biological father received custody of my grandson. If I died, he would have no rights to see this child.

- I am a military wife with a seven year old step son whom i love very much..When my husband is gone the mother refuses to allow me to see him it can be weeks or months at a time..This disrupts his shedule routine and well being ..When he asks for me she says she cant reach me:{The law doesnt help us the ones who are there because we want to be and not because we have the title where the law says we have to be...

- I think it is a shame when actual mothers of children use the "child support system" for things other than the child. The system protects the mother's more often than realizing the father & step mother may be a much better suit for the childs welfare.

- I have visitation rights and my ex is going to try to take them away. I have twins that are 10. I am looking for support because I think I have a shot at the first step for changing the laws. Please contact me if you can help..... If you have information about laws in other states. If you have fought your self. If you have a compelling story. I am the only step parent in Kansas that has rights, to my knowledge and my attoney's knowledge. My ex is going to try to take them away. And I am going to do everything legally possible to stop him! PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CHANGING THE LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY!

- I love my two step kids! My husband is physical custody of both kids and their biological mom sees them rarely and is prego by another man( she isnt even married). So why shouldnt I be able to sign school papers ect. He cant do it as effectively by himself as he can with me helping!

- Since my step-father died, I have been prevented from seeing my step-sister by her mother. I have known my sister since she was born and had previoulsy been in constant contact with her. It has been inexplicably painful and I miss her everyday.
