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

Depends on what state you
Depends on what state you live in. I would google that and the city you live in. I work in Civil cases and a settlement conference is to update the judge and let him know if the parties are able to settle. He may order mediation if he thinks so or will set it for trial if not. I do not see it being a hearing to determine custody, etc though if there are any issues you need brought up, do so. Be prepare as if you were going to trial and you will have everything covered. Have proof of supports, visits, time spent etc. Be prepared to answer any question the judge may have on how if and when you care for the kids. I would go so far as to know docs names, etc. Thats just me though, I do it for a living so I have to prepare for everything. Let me know if I can help.
thanks cplstv
His ex missed the mediation appoinment and this has been on calendar for months. I just wish i was a little more prepared.
