    Question Custodial Father Moves Out of Home, Leaves Chid with New Wife

    ill try to make this short as possible....

    (mother) currently lives in california for the past 8 years. Dependency case held in Washington state in 2003. child was givin to the father. best interest of the child at that time. I have had visitation rights untill i moved to cali. they still in Washington. i do stay in contact with my daughter is now 16. between then and now they have gotten married and divorced. i just found out about the divorce. my daughter informed me that her father disowned her and moved out leaving her there with 'stepmother'.
    i am a stable working mother ii have her brother 14 from a different father with me. i would also be able to provide for my daughter too.

    Now, my questions are....since he has moved out does that make 'stepmother' legal guardian?? and can i file a new custody case or 'parenting plan' asking for sole custody? and him changing the circumstances without notifying the courts he is in contempt. should i notify the court myself?

    The father no longer living with the child is a definite change in circumstance. You should file for primary custody (sole custody is not very likely). You you have the right of a parent. The stepmother has no rights at all.
