[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's all true but it is equally true for men with kids.  All things being equal, a divorced man with kids is less desirable than a divorced man with no kids.

Don't quite understand how one is on the hook for stepkids "legally".  Unless you adopt, you aren't. [/quote]

You can be.

[quote]Stepparent - Are they financially responsible post-divorce?

Stepparents can’t brush-off financial responsibilities when children would suffer financially. This happens basically under 3 conditions and these are:

The stepparent plays the role of a parent and takes care of the child’s financial needs.
    The stepparent looks after the financial needs of the child.
    Stepparent hampers the bond between the biological parent and the child. Plus, he/she curtails child’s ability to get financial help from that parent.

The bottom line

Stepparents can’t brush-off their responsibilities towards children just like that. If they’ve been married to the biological parents of children and have provided child support maintenance for minimum 1 year, then the court may ask them to pay child support. If the stepparent refuses and a case is filed against him/her, then the court will check the last date when he made the contribution. If it’s within a year from the date when the case has been filed with the court, then he/she has to pay child support.[/quote][/quote]
