Carolyn Hax: Stepparent resents husband's ex over teen's support agreement
Adapted from an online discussion.
Dear Carolyn: My husband had a baby when he was 19, was named on the birth certificate and paid support from birth. When his son was 1, his ex moved away. Her attorney created a new support order with a section that said my husband consented to the move. My husband was 20, couldn't afford a lawyer and was not a very involved father. The deal was less than current support, so he took it.
