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

In Texas, it doesn't matter
In Texas, it doesn't matter what the spouse makes, BM is NOT entitled to it. It is only based off DHs salary. Your tax return will show what he actually earned with his w-2s or 1099s...whatever forms you get.
BM can't even have our tax return because we are married and the return belongs to me too. The IRS holds the $$ for 180 days before they will release it to Attorney General, then the AG holds it another 180 days...even if I tell them to give it to the bitch, they say no...law is law.
We have arrears because BM took us to court for an increase, they made it retro for 14 months and it added an additional 10,400 to our obligation. Talk about some bullshit!!!
We've been filing joint for 10 years. We get the hag paid off this year and we are going on a BIG VACATION BABY!
It is the same way in North
It is the same way in North Carolina. What I make does not affect the amount of child support or lack of support my husband would get. Only the parents of the child are responsible for the child. Also, anyone would has a simple agreement can go into child support services and request a review of their child support at any time. This is what we are currently going into as the BM pays us and she has requested it.
In IL it doesn't matter if
In IL it doesn't matter if you file joint, contrary to what our BM thought.
ok thanks every one
