Stepparent Adoption

[micmac]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA and VA

I was just told the stepparent adoption went through. My son was getting auxiliary benefits from my ssdi - that stops now right?

May I assume you expect us to go through your posting history? LOL Not happening.

 

[micmac]

Why would you need to go through history? My ex's husband adopted my son. So being that he's no longer "mine" then the auxiliary benefits she receives in lieu of child support should cease right? I just want to make sure I know what's going on

 

[micmac]

Sorry I'm confused... Do I need to give more background?

Perhaps not. I know that social security death benefits for children (when one parent has died) survive a stepparent adoption, its possible that auxiliary disability benefits do as well. I think that is a question that should be posed directly to the SSA.

My ex stated the lady at SSA checked with someone else and said that he was still eligible but even my ex admitted that seemed a little strange. How is it possible for that to 'survive' the adoption when there is paperwork saying he is no longer my son? From a legal standpoint that seems off

This is not your problem. Since you no longer have a child together, you and your ex have no reason to communicate further.

Why do you care? It has no effect on you and your pocketbook.

So she can get money for a child I don't legally have a right too?

 

[micmac]

So my other son gets reduced benefits now? Son A was adopted but there is still son B and instead of receiving the full amount as he should, he's capped at half?

The answer hasn't changed since the last time you asked.

Please explain why this affects you directly.

(Clue: it doesn't)

 

[micmac]

Since son B lives with me and getting reduced bc of this it DOES affect me
