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

Many have said, "But we were getting along so well and all was going good." And then, they weren't and it wasn't. It is best to have a court order to fall back on.
My ex and I did our divorce
My ex and I did our divorce on our own and just paid a lawyer to file the final paper work for us. We've since modified our agreement verbally and make changes as we need to. I would never consider taking him to court or serving him. I just speak to him and vice versa when we have an issue, a concern, an idea or need to adjust things.
DH and BM though, is a complete different story. Anything that is NOT implicitly stated in the order is up for argument.

My CO read I had full custody. ex had reasonible visitation based on my discretion.
Of course it was 19 years ago.
A) I am a COD and knew the importance of both parents.
Once we got thru the first year the focus was on what was best for our daughter. And I understood I could totally PAS my kid and hr stood no chance. And we all would loose.
We did what was right by her. However both parents have to respect the other as the parent.
As I always said I divorced him asy husband not as her father. We made it work.
