Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

maybe
I think it is "dragged".
I think it is nice that you want to go but I would ask him first. He probably will be glad to have the support.
reason
DH is petioning the court for child support from BM. I have basically raised SS11 and SD8 for the last three years BM voluntarily gave the kids to dad. DH has been raising son since he was 5 and together we've had both kids for 3 years.
My kids biggest cheerleader
I don't know the whole history,
But I say you should definently be there. I just say that because I can't imagine what a judge would think he or she knows that Dh is married and his wife is not there. I would be afraid of that being seen as a lack of support. I think your presence shows the strength of the union between you and Dh and your support for his relationship with the skids. I think that would play a huge role in my decision if I were a judge.
Again, I don't know all the history though, guess it all depends on the case. I wish you luck either way.

be there
I would ask him what he thinks, but I definitely want to be there.
