custody - standing

Morgan v. Weiser - Superior Court - May 7, 2007

http://www.courts.state.pa.us/OpPosting/Superior/out/a41021_06.pdf

Biological father whose parental rights were terminated does not stand in loco parentis to the child, given that, after the termination, he had minimal partial custody of child, paid minimal child support, and did not live with the child in a familial setting at any time. His contact with the child was "akin to babysitting and caretaking."
