I have been married to my husband for 2 years and together for 4. His step daughter has been ok with me this whole time. When my husband came home from his last deployment everything was going fine until he asked that his step daughter make some time in her schedule to spend time with him. He wasn't around after he divorced due to his ex always making arguements with him in front of the kids. He felt is was best safe if he stayed away for a while. He has been the only father figure to his now 15 year old step daughter and has been there since she was 2. As soon as he asked more time with her she began resenting us. Attempting to manipulate him by saying she wont come over unless we pick them up in the convertable and at that time it wasnt insured in our name so we did the safe route and brought a car that was covered by us and our passengers. The manipulation has been going on for a while now and she's not getting her way. The last was she would of came over if we picked up the kids on this last Friday but my husband had duty that day. My husband tries to call her and see if they can talk or get together and she always pushes him away. Today he asked her when is she going to make time for him and she told him she only makes time for the people she lives with aka mom, grandma, grandpa, sister and brothers. My husband pretty much has came to conclusion that his step daughter has abandoned him and I believe its true. She never wants anything to do with us and if she does she normally pulls the manipulation crap and gets no where with it. SO here's my question, he is paying child support for her, he did not adopt her. IF she has basically abandoned my husband as her father shouldnt he have the right to stop paying child support for her? I think the money he is giving her would be better off spent on the kids that are actually in our custody twice a month and that want to be with us.
