Can a stepfather file a restraining order against his 17-year-old daughter's boyfriend if the biological mother does not agree to it? |
Answer
Not if it concerns the minor female, as stepparents have no legal authority over stepchildren.
The exception for a non biological parent to have legal rights to a child is if that person had legally adopted the child.
The stepfather might be able to get a no contact order against the person for himself and/or keep the person from entering his property depending upon how the ownership of the property is established.
Actually, you can get a restraining order against the person for YOURSELF, but you'd look like a very pussy coward of a man to actually need to take a 17 year old kid to court and get a restraining order because he "makes you feel scared and threatened"
