<p>Who pays for what in a blended family, and who gets a say?</p><p>How do you divide assets in a blended family?</p><br><p>This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by co-hosts Cilla and Nathalie to talk about one of the most emotional and overlooked issues in blended families is money.</p><br><p>The conversation is sparked by a dilemma from a stepmum who financially supports her partner’s children but feels completely shut out of the decision-making. With talk of private school on the table and no voice in the conversation, she’s left wondering: am I being manipulated, or is this just part of being in a blended family?</p><br><p>They dive into the uncomfortable but necessary questions: Should financial contribution equal a say in parenting decisions? and Where’s the line between support and exploitation?</p><br><p>The trio reflect on the emotional costs that go beyond finances especially when step-parents raise children they have no legal rights to. From wills and inheritance to guardianship and long-term planning, they unpack why these conversations matter so much more in blended families.</p><br><p>One big question the group debates: Should parents leave different amounts to different children, based on what they’re already receiving from their other biological parent? Is fairness always equal or does it depend on circumstance?</p><br><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blended/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@blended </a>on Instagram to share your story.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
