Social mom, yes that's her. Bio mom of course would be someone else who may or may not care about her kid(s?) whatsoever. In my case it's the other way around, bio + social father, and mom.Tanya 93 said:She gave birth.Faustus said:
Lots to this story I'm missing.
How did the non-biological mother get custody over the actual father?
I assume she adopted the child, but if the mom and dad separated when the child was 3, then that was the time to get her out of the picture by at least seeking to be the sole managing conservator over his biological children.
I'd be curious what the legal theories were at trial, and how they were presented. I'm having difficulty envisioning a jury siding with the mom based on the facts as presented here. Are there any articles that lay out the two sides' legal filings and arguments?
It is a tricky issue and I don't think anyone would ever rule she isn't the mom.
And WRT the previous reply from what I understand now it's essentially adoption paperwork but I haven't personally seen what it looks like. For a lot of us made in the mid-'80s and earlier there was none whatsoever. Zero documentation at all.
