What if one of us already has a child?
This entry lists what a couple usually needs to settle when one person is already a parent: the child's living arrangements, the other parent's role, discipline, money, and names. It treats the child as a person already in the story, not as a detail of the romance.
What this entry does not do
It is not a stepfamily therapy plan and does not give custody law.
