| Line 142: | Line 142: | ||
The stepparent's obligation to pay child support is '''secondary''' to that of the child's parents and guardians. When deciding if a stepparent should pay child support, a court looks at the child’s standard of living when they lived with the stepparent, and how long the child lived with the stepparent. A number of factors come into play. It’s a good idea to consult a lawyer if a stepparent is involved. | The stepparent's obligation to pay child support is '''secondary''' to that of the child's parents and guardians.
