I've been at this stuff for a long time, dude. There could be different situations in these two cases. When my first wife and I split up, DFACS never even came around to check up on anyone. That's because everything was hunky-dory. My current wife is the only female out of six serious relationships I've had that did NOT have children from a previous relationship. I've been exposed to a lot of these situations. I could be wrong, but I don't know. Later, QD.
I wasn't saying you are completely wrong. I was just stating that it is very possible.
