step parents rights

[1234more]

how much more rights does the step parent have over the non-custodial parent?

none

stepparents are legal strangers and have no rights whatsoever to someone else's children.

okay, so what if the child's school calls to have the child picked up on the custodial parents day, and the custodial parent can not pick the child up, is it okay for them to just call the stepparent rather than the non-custodial parent?

If the step parent is on childs emergency card it is likely fine
