[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]H and I don't have joint accounts, but we still treat our money jointly if that makes sense. We split the bills that way pay. That includes saving for SD's college and paying for her clothes/activities/expenses. However, SD's biomom isn't very involved (less than 15% parenting time and doesn't get child support) so it makes sense for us to share the burden financially.[/quote] I am the same PP as above coming in to add more - just wanted to add that I don't think anything about our arrangement is unfair. We have SD over 85% of the time and we are the active parents in her school, activities, and life. It would feel very strange to me not to share the financial burden of raising her with my H. I'm very well aware I'm not her "real mom" and I don't try to be, but I have never treated her any differently than my own DD in terms of emotional and financial support.[/quote]
