how old are they? If they are teenagers then they are old enough for yall to sit them down and talk it out . You and your partner do have to understand that sisters always fight, but since its becoming a problem i think its time for yall to have a family sit down and everyone take their time to speak without any interruption.
this way you can find out the reasoning behind their anger with each other and yall can work on it from there ..
GOOD LUCK

well this is coming from a stepson so here is my best advice, do NOT force anything, both the girls are probably pissed their parents got re-married in the first place (don't get me wrong, I'm sure you and your partner are great people) Best thing i would say is to be sure to have separate time with you and your daughter while your partner and his/her daughter do their own thing, but also be sure to do things as a large group once in a while as well. Its not an easy situation (as I'm sure you've figured out) I wish the best of luck to you and your new family

They are both demanding attention.
If any of them recieve more attention than the other, she will feel as entiltled to more respect. She will feel more loved or "big sister";
Give them both the attention they need. Not more, not less. And attend their needs with a fair and balanced criteria.
Children can be manipulative when it comes to their parents approval or attention.
I suggest:
Give them love and attention at the same levels;
do not make any of them feelmore privilaged; and
Give them only the attention they need.

Have them change place for a day. Now see how the act when they see that the shoe is on another foot. I bet they will show after that. They both are vying for how things use to be nbot how they can be.

get them together and have a discussion to learn why these two are at odds and then ask them how should we start to try and solve the issues. find the cause get the cure. Communication is very important and without taking sides you need to let both of them know you love and care for them both equally and let them know you want to listen to what they have to say and ask them to tell you what they think they need to do to get along better.

If they where actually blood related they would still fight . Would you let it tear you apart then and would you blame the divorce on the kids. I suggest you both suck it up and treat your little princesses like they are siblings and distribute punishment so.... But you punish yours and he punish his so they both know you are on the same team
