Step-Parent Rights: What You Need to Know (Ep.125)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Divorce Collective Podcast, Danielle Young—Head of Family Law at Collective Family Law Group and Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner at Danielle Young Mediations—unpacks one of the most common questions she hears: Do step-parents have rights when it comes to children they’ve helped raise?

We’ll cover who the law recognises as a step-parent under the Family Law Act 1975, whether step-parents automatically get parental rights, and what options are available if you want to maintain a meaningful relationship with your step-children after separation. If you’ve played a big role in raising your partner’s children and you’re unsure what happens next, this episode is for you.
