Regardless of all that crap-

"Kelly noted in his opinion that Frampton had held himself out as a
stepparent to the children by being present at the birth of one of
the
children, contributing "in excess of $13,000" over the last four
years, buying them toys and having borrowed money to obtain a vehicle
in which to transport the children. "

Since when does a step parent required to provide support? In
addition, why is this money given a show of support, when
999.9999999999999999999999% of the time, money given like that when it
is intended AS support but not earmarked as such upfront considered a
gift to child/parent by the court.

Because the courts have consistently ruled a gift to the child does not
apply against a CS obligation owed to the CP.

You may not have thought about this aspect of CS orders before, but this
is
a most distressing portion of the CS issue. If an obligor or obligee is
deceased a legal battle can ensue over who is the next in line to pay or
receive CS. CS does not legally end when one of the parents die.
Subsequent spouses or heirs can be ordered to pay CS out of inheritances
in
their names.- Hide quoted text -

In my case, after 15 years of CS and 5 kids, there aren't many scraps
left to fight over. However, when I die, I am sad to say I might be
forced to miss the "cage match" in which my two ex wives will
certainly be engaged. I can't decide what would be better, eternal
life in Heaven or eternity in Hell plus a ticket to the "event".

That's right. The race will be on to see which ex-spouse can file first to
receive any Social Security Survivor Benefits. If things turn out, they may
kill each other on the steps of the Social Secutity office.
