    I adopted my step kids. Less than 6you months later wife threw me out. She tells everyone she never wanted me to adopt them. Now I pay child support. Is this fare.

    Are you asking morally or legally?

    Morally I'd question your "ex." Legally she's within her rights. I'm assuming no one held a gun to your head and forced you to sign the adoption papers.

    no they didn't I love my kids very much I'm not abusive tears them and I get to see them all the time. Don't mind paying for them. Just wanted to know if what she did was legal. So before you pass judgment on me get to know me first. Thanks for your answer.

    First, if it's a legal question - and I didn't know if you were asking legally or morally - it belongs on the legal boards.

    And where did I judge you without "getting to know you"? You adopted these children. Legally they are your children. You go on to say, "She tells everyone she never wanted me to adopt them." I don't see how that matters UNLESS you were somehow coerced into adopting them and, even then, if you are speaking legally, it doesn't matter.

    These are your children and you (apparently) don't think it's "fare" that you have to support them. I'd say the same thing to any father who wanted to know if he had to support his children. Yes, they're your children.

    I have no idea what, "im not abusive tears them ..." means.
