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

Your income is not considered when calculating his child support. I came into my relationship with a good financial backing sold my house and we bought another house with this money. Non of this came into factoring what he pays in child support. It is only his income that is relevant.
I think...
I'm pretty sure someone posted a few days ago that in Canada, the ONLY thing that matters in the CS payment is the father's income. I don't think they even factor the mother's income into the payment.

Bio-parents income, in which our case was she doesnt work so my hubby supports him 80% (on paper) but 100% realisticaly. good luck

I would get a living trust. We have one that excludes SD (she's waaaay well off with BM's side of the family). Although, if she really wants to, she can probably fight for something if something should happen to us.
