    Child support
    In the state of GA does the step-parent have to pay the support of the child of the biological parent when he is not working? The step-parent is the only one handling the household.

    The step-parent has no obligation to support his step-children.

    The issue here is that the non custodial parent needs to go back to court and get the support reduced if they are not working.

    The step parent does not have any liability to pay. Of course that does not stop them from arresting the non custodial parent for non payment, so if the step parent does not help pay.
