[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never invited to anything.  Mom had an affair and left to live with AP (been many years now).  We still get calls for money from all of them but that's about it.  I think they finally got it we are not giving money beyond what Mom gets given the divorce was 30 years ago.  I can see them coming after me or us/when one of us passes.  Mom came after us when we got married so I'd pay her child support (judge threw it out).  If mom wants to pretend dad doesn't exist and AP is dad she should stop taking our money.[/quote]

Honestly, this is horrible.  You are punishing the kids for mom’s behavior.  Also, doesn’t make sense - the divorce was 30 years ago but you are still paying bioMom?  Child support to the parent stops at 21. Are you paying alimony?  Profits from a business?  That’s money properly owed to Mom for whatever term and it is not for the kids but to compensate mom for her equity not provided at divorce.

If it’s been 30 years since the divorce and your step kids only call for money, that’s highly reflective of the quality of relationship you have (or haven’t) built with the kids.

I feel sorry for the kids. [/quote]
