Step parents and tuition

[Anonymous]

In those of you with blended families with children in private school who pays their tuition does that come from the family account does money that comes from their biological parents pay for the private school and what is the deal is the actual other parents can't afford private school as expensive as the stepparent do your children go to different schools

Yes, kids go to separate schools. Mom gets child support. She can use that to pay her portion and chooses not to. I do not feel any responsibility to pay. Child has two parents. I already buy most of the clothing and other extras (on top of the child support). Our child goes to private as it is a child care issue and only slightly more with the before/after school vs. public with child care.

My nephew attends the same school as his step brother. His dad and stepmom pay for him to attend since my sister could never afford the tuition. His dad wants both of his kids to have the same educational opportunities (he adopted his new wife's son, who is 2 years older than my nephew) Thankfully his new wife is very nice and was on board with this since it is her income that makes it possible for them to pay for two kids.

Wow! Step moms pay attention. This is how it's done.

Not how it is done, sorry. I wouldn't let my husband adopt my son. He already has a father.

That is very nice of her. Playing devils advocate, if it's her salary that makes it possible for your nephew to attend school, what happens to his education if they divorce?

She's a good stepmom!

Or, mom could step it up and pay her portion given she is probably also getting child support. Its not right to put it on stepmom when they are not loaded.

Poster with nephew.

1. My nephews dad adopted new wife's son because the child's father had died.

2. They are loaded when factoring in inheritance and income.

3. Don't know what would happen if they divorced. However the split with my sister largely had to do with issues my sister was having and not her ex. Her ex has been nothing but a stand up guy through the whole process

4. The stepmom is a really great woman. All 3 adults (sister,ex, new wife) all get along very well

That is great they all get along. But, only dad's income should be counted. Stepmom's income and inheritance should not be included for the child.

PP, why do you (a stranger) care if the stepmother wants to do this for her stepchild?

It would be easy to be a great stepmom if you were loaded. Money is no longer an issue. Many arguments between blended families revolve around how to fairly allocate the available resources. They luckily don't have that issue.

Because she's a stepwitch and doesn't want the precedent.

That's why I would never marry a guy with kids
