[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in a cohabiting relationship household bills should be split proportional to income, not 50/50. So if Partner A makes 70% of the HH income, they should pay 70% of the mortgage, etc.  But in a marriage everything is combined anyway, so isn't it a moot point?

I think you could look at the childcare expenses as seperate from this, though-- those should be split between OP and the father. It would certainly be the good and decent thing for OP's fiance to support his future stepkids, but I wouldn't say it's strictly an obligation.[/quote]

OP..This is the first time I have ever posted anywhere and didn't know I was supposed to put OP when I responded. He said to work more hours or get a second job to bring my income up. I was a stay at home mom until the separation, I chose to not have cable or a cell phone or fancy anything because it meant more to me to spend time with my children and I still feel they benefited greatly from it. My daughter skipped a grade because I taught her to read at 4, she recently received The State Academic Achievement Award, only 13 given out a year. So after being told that I wasn't sure if he had a point, if I need more money, work more. Feel like everything gets twisted to where I am wrong or not seeing it because I am in it. That is why I wanted outside feedback. [/quote]
