I have being married for 8 years with my wife. We have a daughter 6 hears old. There is currenlty living with us her son (14 years old) and daughter (11 year old) since I met my wife.
The step son is direspectful I ask him to do simple things and is like taking to the wall he keep doing the same. ie. I tell him not to take too much time in the shower or turn off the lights when no one is using them. To organize his bed before leaving, or do his shore and for some reason I am only one that found myself retelling him what to do. His mother simply don't get involve. His B.Father don't take him, although several years ago said would take him to his house but all he did with that is that now the S.Son is more direspectful and his B.FAther can't take him cause he live in a small apartment. I am feeling bad for not getting this house cause would be convenient since it is a program house 4 bedroms in a very good area. and the payments are very low like 600.00 dollars. Right now we live in 2 bedrom apartment for 880.00 me and my wife can't afford this on our own. So getting the house would be good but at the same time I am concerned that letterif moving to the house would end up in a bad situation. With a disrespectful step son and a wife I don't trust that much. She had an affair after our marriage and it has being hard to overcome that. At this I am confused on what to do. Listening to all this scary story, specially and very scared in which I heard sometime the man has to walk out of the house continue paying the debt of the house plus child support. So what to do I don't know at this time and would appreciate any advise. My wife agrees to do a post nuptial agreement in which she give me the house so when the step kids would be incline to be more respectful knowing I could kick them out. But I am not to confident with that resolution. Please advise.

I would be sure the house is in your name and have her sign saying it is your house--you make the payments. If you really think that it could come down to divorce.

In my state whoever leaves the residence leaves alone. The bio kids stay in the home the live in. Later she could get the child back but to start the child would live with you....if she left with the child you could call the cops and they would force her to return the child.

If you really think this divorce may happen---talk to her about wanting the child with you at least 50% of the time---let her know that you want to be an active father unlike her ex.

The only way that she would get alimony or the house paid for is if you two were married for a longer period of time or you agreed to it. I belive.

Talk to the skids BFather. Once CS is lowered with the son living with him he should be able to get a larger apt.
