Are the child support guidelines the same for step parent adoption cases?
I married a woman and adopted her child shortly after we got married. I got divorced after 3 years and we had an agreement to split the monetary cost of raising the adopted child without court ordered child support. The biological mother has been put in a bind due to some poor financial decisions and purchases. She is now filing bankruptcy and has decided to pursue a court order for me to pay child support when the arrangement we had would have been fine if she had not purchased so many extravagant items she can not afford. Is there anyone out there that has had a similar case or have any knowledge of a problem like this?
The funny thing is that the biological father didn't even show up for the adoption and didn't want to pay any child support at all. Now she wants to take a more successful man to the cleaners.....help.....
