Exactly!!!! The ‘roommate’ has no rights to the child even if the mother gave the ‘roommate’ rights to her own self.
IIRC the Mom is now married or at least engaged to the biological father of her child.I believe the ex girlfriend did this out of spite to interfere with the real family.
It’s an ex-girlfriend who was neither married, nor a biological parent of the child. The woman wishes, for whatever reason, that her ex-girlfriend not come close to the child. It sounds a lot like abuse as a reason. I hope that she and her daughter come around, but for now, the important part is to ask what the mother’s side of the story is. From reading the article, it sounds a great deal as if there is an unfair bias and the mother’s claim of abuse could be true. I just don’t know the full details.
The bad implications are that the legal structure and precedent of being a parent, legally and/or biologically, is being violated, and that is not good news.
