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
I woud say the chances of
I woud say the chances of 50/50 with an infant are slim to none (not sure if this is a newborn we are talking about or not). I would also say eowe is slim to none. Look up your state guidelines for parenting time and see what they propose for visitation with age group. I believe in my state they recommend 3 visits a week for several hours each time. If I remember correctly the child has to be several years old before they grant an overnight.
Can't say for sure. DH and BM
Can't say for sure. DH and BM divorced when SD was 2 and they put together some sort of weird schedule that had her bouncing back and forth between houses nearly every day. It was 50/50, and they said they did it because she was so young and this way she could see both parents regularly. The schedule stayed that way until she was 10, until it changed to one week with BM and one week with DH.
If the parties can agree on
If the parties can agree on something then they can choose any sort of custody or visitation schedule they want. My references were to my state guidelines which the majority of judges tend to go by if the parties can not cooperate.
