Order that the child remains with persons to whom it relates

Where the child has lived for a long period in a household with one parent and the parent’s spouse, and where the other parent, who under sections 1678, 1680 and 1681 may now alone determine the abode of the child, wants to remove the child from the spouse, the family court may of its own motion or on application by the spouse order that the child remains with the spouse, if and as long as the best interests of the child would be endangered by the removal. Sentence 1 applies accordingly if the child has lived for a long period in a household with one parent and the parent’s life partner or a person entitled to contact under section 1685 (1).
