Hi! I'm new to this site and to being a step parent and I really need some help! I have a question. Hoping someone is familiar with the laws. So this coming weekend is our scheduled weekend to have my step kids. My husband will be at a required school for work for the next two weeks. He will be gone during the day day but home in the evening. So the kids would be with me during the day. Their mom is saying she isn't going to give us the kids if they will be alone with me. Isn't there some law that protects us from that?
