even though, the bio father will still have the responsible to provide support to the kid till they're 21 yo.

Not really true about this statement... As TS mentioned he and his wife is now married. As long as the mother is re-marry, the previous husband can don't pay for the alimony/maintainance to the kids. If he still have some 'conscience', maybe he will pay... But even he don't, he don't break the rules as well.


TS,

I think we have similar situation, or probably should say 'had'. I married my wife (now ex) whom is a Single mother of 2. Slightly different is that she and the father of the child, is not officially married. But their birth-cert indicate the guy as their father's name.

After I married with my wife, I went for adoption to have the 2 kids to change their surname under mine (Which in a way, quite regretted about this).

Due to some unforseen circumstance, my wife and I divorced... And well, I had to continue paying the alimony/maintainence to the kids till the youngest hit 21... Unless she re-marry again...
