[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We put parameters on the types of schools DH and I will pay for our kids to go to for college.  If stepDH pays for DD’s college, will he get to have a say in where she goes, or does everyone who thinks he should pay think he should just write the check and stay quiet?  [/quote]

I can’t speak for everyone else but I think he should at a minimum pay a portion of something reasonable- not necessarily the whole thing at any particular school. However, if it were me, I wouldn’t have married someone who didn’t want to create a family and life with me that was the full equal (or at least something approaching equal) of his first family.  To me, that’s not really how families or marriages should work.  Doesn’t mean I think his biological kids’ inheritance should be split with a stepdaughter, but it does mean that - ideally- he might find it in himself to help with a portion of things like education expenses, or perhaps co-sign a loan with his stepdaughter if she someday needs a car for work and her mom’s finances aren’t in order.  Treating his wife’s kid like she has nothing to do with him is pretty low.
