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
It should.
Depends on your state, the financial status of the other parent, actual number of overnights, etc.
In our situation, if the kids were to live with us the cs would be minimal from BM, I'm sure DH would not even bother.

The parent that the child
The parent that the child does not live with has to pay the child support, which would be based on their income. I assume you are not talking about each parent having 50/50 though. If you guys have physical custody the BM would have to pay.
