My situation is complex and I'll try to simplify it the best I can:
-9 years ago I married a woman w/3 kids
-father of children has never paid court ordered child support
-we live in So Cal (San Bernardino Co)
-15 1/2 son arrested for various problems
-family court judge put him into placement
-recently returned by first placement due to problem behavior
-probation dept informed my wife that they will re-place him somewhere else. They also told her that we were going to get billed $4,000/mth and a lien would be placed on our home
=====================================
-what rights do i have as a step father? his name was legally changed to mine several years ago but I did not adopt him
-why doesn't the DA go after the deadbeat father? more than $65000 in arrears
-would a Q/D protect my home?
-if we wind up in divorce am I responsible for everyone's support?
-should I seek immediate legal counsel?
