Based upon your fact pattern the answer seems to be a resounding yes. If the child has consistently been living in your household and you've been providing the care and maintenance of the child, California family law would allow you to step in and serve as a de facto parent. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to assist you on proceeding to court.
