This room says a place for stepparents to vent so here it goes...=-) hoping it will make me feel better, for real!
I married a man that had a son from when he was 17 years old. He knew the girl for 1 month and saw her on the weekends and conceived a child when he was a child. They never married as you can imagine there were a lot of problems.. My husband and I got custody of the child when he was in kindergarden and had custoday until he turned 16 just recently and said he wanted to give his mother a chance at raising him. In reality there was a girl that his mom was luring him in with and it worked. In the meantime, we never get to see him and it was decided at court that since he is of age he can make the choice to live with her. She even signed him off to a different state to live when we had custody. She now all of a sudden at 16 wants him and she is never home to spend time with him. His grades are not good at his new school and we have been ordered to pay almost 600.00 a month for 1 child. I feel like we are getting ripped off bigtime all around.

Thanks for replying, I like this site already.Nobody seems to understand the stress this causes for all people involved.
She did not pay us child support for the first 4 years because we told her we would pay and not to worry about it. Then, after 4 years she would not even buy him a pair of shoes etc..so we got cs at 200.00 a month and she was not behind. There is nothing we can do about the first 4 years, shame on us for being nice.
Not only did all this go down but we had a court order stating that he come back in fall for school after her summer visit and she broke the court order and did not send him back, parental kidnapping. They dont care about broken court orders I guess court orders mean nothing anymore!!!! It is just a shame that she went about things in such a way. Now my ss thinks that courts are stupid,etc...
I will see about showing the courts that he did do better grade wise with us but I am sure it wont matter, they act like we did something wrong. My ss cant wait to see us on spring break and I think we might talk to him and see if he still wants to live with her for next year or if he is ready to come back home. kp

did I read right...did you say she signed off on him? if so she has no parental rights to him at all, let alone getting child suport.
if I did read it wrong... I have to agree with the rest of them...if his grades are bad at his new school then maybe he does need to be back with you guys. GOD LUCK!!!
