Is Bill Dancer Curly Sue's Dad?

Just watched the last half and didn't understand why she called her dad Bill. Why was that? I must have missed something.

Professor Henry Jones: Those people are trying to kill us!
Indiana Jones: I know, Dad!
Professor Henry Jones: This is a new experience for me.
Indiana Jones: It happens to me all the time.

No, he's not her father. That's why they're homeless, because he doesn't have legal custody of her, so if they put her in the education system, child welfare would take her away.

It explains in the movie that he is not her dad, but he met her mom in a bar and when the mom died he kept Curly Sue to raise as his own. That's why she calls him Bill and not dad.
