Step-parents do not have the legal right to consent to medical treatment for their step-children. However, this is not always practical. For instance, you may be the primary caregiver for your step-children while your spouse is at work, and are responsible for bringing them to doctor's appointments.
With changes in family structure such as divorce, single-parenting, or remarriage, a question many struggle with is how such changes affect children. Any family form that differs from the traditional two-parent, biological family is assumed to place children at risk.Such changes require some adjustment time; however, it is inaccurate to assume that stepchildren have more problems than other children because of parental remarriage.iven the current state of research on children in stepfamilies, it would be premature to suggest that no differences exist between these children and children living in first-marriage families. On the other hand, we cannot assume that all children in stepfamilies will have problems.
