Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Depends on what its being
Depends on what its being calculated for
"You never realize how short a month is until you pay child support"
It would be caculated for a modification to DH's CS order
He was working 2 jobs making twice what he makes now
She wasn't working when he worked the the 2 jobs
and is not working now.,she recieves government aid
and about $800 in support from DH and her Ex.
Then No. CS you pay & anyone
Then No. CS you pay & anyone else pays is never considered income for cs modifications.
"You never realize how short a month is until you pay child support"
The cs
that she receives from your husband would not be included in her gross income for determining modifications to her cs from your husband- it's not income, it's a reimbursement.
If she is not working he should definitely be asking that an income be inputted to her.

Thank you for clearing that up
Ok
Now I have a better understanding.
Thanks-
