It's been several years since I posted. At 23, I married a man 18 years my senior in June 2010, after 6 weeks of marriage I was suddenly a step mom to then SD12, SD13 and SS15. (Only SD13 was his biologically, the other two were her siblings but we took them all in when BM got evicted) 3 months into it, DH was diagnosed with liver cancer and I came up pregnant with twins. After about a year and a half, we sent the youngest SD back cause she pulled a knife on the babysitter.

DH is in arrears of 30k, we just got the civil summons the other day as the state of FL just transferred it up to our state. I'm freaking out. DH has liver cancer, just had surgery and there's no way he can work. We just cannot pay. What can we do?

So DH totally dropped the ball on my bday. He knew I was very upset about it so he planned for us to get away for the weekend. He told me to go get a massage today and he would gather the kids and meet me at MILs where we would leave them and spend the weekend at the lake.

How would DH go about putting his name on SD14s birth certificate?

She's most definitely his kid, but as he wasn't present at the birth he was not put on the birth certificate. He wants to get put on now because our end goal is to go to BM and say "pay CS or sign away rights to the child you've said you no longer want" so I can adopt her. DH has cancer, so we don't know how much time he has. If something happens to him before SD turns 18, I do not want her to have to return to BM.
