1 Gribble v. Gribble, supra, holds that a stepparent has a right to a hearing to determine if the stepparent stands in loco parentis with regard to the stepchild and that if an affirmative finding is made, that the stepparent should have the same rights and responsibilities as a natural parent and should be deemed a parent under the Utah statute governing visitation (583 P.2d at p. 68).
