Hi, I'm from California. Here's the skinny on my question. My estranged wife and I have 4 boys together. We also have a daughter from her prior marriage. From the time she was 2, I have raised her with her mother. She is now 15. during that time my ex and I were married and living together a little over 9 years. she has since filed for divorce, which I went into default for, and so we are separated, but still technically married, for almost 11 years now. I currently have my boys every weekend, and her one or two weekends a month when she wants to come over with her brothers. I am due to go to court for the custody and visitation of the boys later this month for 50/50 custody. What I want to know, is do I have a right, or even a chance at filing for custody or visitation of my daughter? As far as her bio-dad goes, he's been in contact with her via the phone or email irregularly for the past year and a half, up until then, she had no idea he existed. If anybody knows what the laws are on this in California, please let me know. Especially on weather I have a chance at all at visitation or custody.
