Apparantly family maintenance can and will provide legal aid to a mother in order to help her obtain a cild support order from the courts, you dont have to be legaly married or even the biolgical father, the only criteria is if the man has supported the kids for a period of time (2 years) This just doesn't seem right to me.

No way man, you need a lawyer. If those children are not yours you have no legal financial responsibility to them. While she could receive alimony payments for the children is their fathers responsibility and they are just coming after you cause your easier to find, have something to give and what are you going to do about it... get a lawyer. If you can't quite see how that can happen, take a look at my "protecting your family" blog on yahoo360 for something a little different that can possibly offer some assistance.
Good luck

If the step-parent becomes a legal guardian of the step-children upon marrying the spouse or has been a provider for two years then the step-father should continue to be responsible for the children until they can take care of themselves, biological or not.
The person agreed to take care of the children by serving as their provider for a consistent length of time and it should not be based on the status of the relationship of the couple. The kids still need to eat no matter what.
Be aware of the family court laws before taking up with someone and hope that the child's father is involved too.

All that ought to have been solved via a DNA attempt. They value under $25 a month for all times. My dad claimed my mom had an affair so he does no longer look like sh*t whilst he left us. DNA attempt proved different clever. i'm 21 and my sister is 25 and my mom by no skill gained a baby help verify. To get lower back to the factor this could be a severe undertaking. i think of each time everyone asks for baby help no count what the relationship is there could be a paternity attempt. only so the daddy would not question it later or attempt to lie approximately it. the quantity taken could additionally be lifelike. If somebody is elevating your baby you're able to pay greater effective than $25 a month. that isn't any longer even a months grant of diapers. having stated that $800 a month is ridiculous.

No it doesn't. They should throw that law out. Although, if they don't then the man being charged for child support should fight for custody. If the law says he has to support them, might as well make it official and fight all the way. That would piss the mom off enough that she might just drop the child support.

I don't see how this can be true... But just because she gets legal aid, doesn't mean she's gonna get child support.
Much Love!!

It shouldn't be a legal obligation; however, it is a moral obligation. Do you just stop loving them because you stopped loving their mother?

If you adopted the children you are responsible.
