Just thought of a scenario not handled by this:

Woman & man marry
Woman & man have baby
Woman & man get divorced
Woman gets custody
Woman marries another man
Woman is killed in an accident when child is 6 years old

Who gets primary custody at *this* point? The bio-dad or the step-dad?

Julia

Exactly the kind of situation which stresses the point that there shouldn't be mandatory rules in custody cases. The questions that need to be answered before a case like this could be decided would include:

How involved in the child's life were both fathers?
Does the child have any stepsiblings?  On which side?

Family situations can get VERY complicated.  Mine was, let's say,
eventful.
