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

He is trying to hold her
He is trying to hold her responsible, apparently the amount of the original check is not enough for law enforcement to get involved. We are not sure of his options at this point.
Her lack of recollection is an excuse, although I totally agree with your above response.
If she presented the check to
If she presented the check to the store... then she is responsible. It is irrelevant that his name is also on the account because the account was legally closed. The bank won't pay since the account was closed so the store is on the hook. They cannot go against your DH because he didn't write the check to them... when the account was closed.. that should be it. If he wants he can provide his EXes information if he has it.
