====Child support for stepchildren====


Stepparents can be required to pay child support for the benefit of their stepchildren. However, s. 146 of the ''Family Law Act'' defines a ''stepparent'' as someone who is "a spouse of the child's parent."  As a result, someone in an unmarried relationship that doesn't qualify as a spousal relationship cannot be made to pay child support for the other party's children.
