[quote=Anonymous]Nope.

Mom should have addressed this before she married the step-dad/when she agreed to stay at home.    Now, if he said he would pay for it, then changed his mind, that's dirty pool.

I'm not contributing directly to my stepkid's college, but my income lets us live in a better home, take real vacations (with her), give her a car, etc., while my husband saves/pays for her college (split with her biomom).

Now in our case, bioparents can afford to pay for the college she decided to go to.   If they couldn't, I would have pitched in, but not for the school she's going to -- it's a non-exceptional state school where she got token scholarships.  She had the opportunity to go to an in-state school that was just as good, if not better, with free tuition.  But, as I have no expectation of having a say of where she goes to school, she and her parents have no expectation of me contributing.

And yes, I am saving for my biokid, but he's much younger and I'd have the same expectations for him -- if it's not an exceptional school, the cost will be strongly taken into consideration.
