Should you pay for your partners kid?

Victoria Devine
About this episode

This week G + V breakdown the intricate and not so simple situation of managing a relationship with a partner who has a child/children. Should you be financially supporting them? Is that your responsibility, or is it theirs? Is it perhaps a joint responsibility? What if you haven't moved in together yet, what happens then?

Join us for a pretty pervy convo on how to have the discussion, but also to learn about some things you should be taking into consideration.
