[quote=Anonymous]I truly think that depends on your own family's dynamic. We had a similar situation - we had custody of my stepchild and paid 100% of everything. As a result, major decisions like college and buying cars and such were between DH, stepchild and me. Ex could certainly express her opinion, but since she had zero financial stake in the matter, and wasn't part of day to day life, it had a very small percentage of weight in the decision-making process. DH and I had blended finances and as a result any financial decisions in our household were our's, not his or mine separately. My stepchild understood that. Good luck. [/quote]
