I have a question in regards to a step parents commitment to child support.
I understand that if a step parent is found to be "in place of" a parent they are held to the same standard.
In my situation, the biological father has been in the picture for the entire time of the marriage. He's paid a child support payment every month and has been religious in taking his daughter every second weekend and occasionally at other times.
I am getting conflicting information in some of my conversations. I have been told that I will need to pay child support and then others have said as long as the father is in the picture, active and contributing financially that I won't.
Does anyone have any insight to this situation? Thank you.
