On May 12, 2014, Kasem was granted temporary conservatorship of her father, over the objections of her stepmother Jean.

Jean Kasem is Kerri's stepmother ("a woman who is married to one's father after the divorce of one's parents or the death of one's mother.") --TheCockroach (talk) 21:41, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Casey and Jean have been married since 1980, so it's not like Casey married some random woman a couple of months ago. --TheCockroach (talk) 21:43, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I can't really argue with that — you're absolutely technically correct. I feel the connotations of "stepmother" make the use of the word misleading in this context, but I'll certainly leave it be. And as long as I'm here, let me compliment you on your editing overall; you've helped improve the article and I admire the care you show in your edits. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
