Do you have to pay support for step child age 6?

Only if you've adopted him/her. If so, then you are obligated to pay child support (after a divorce with the child in question's parent, of course) until they are 18 years of age. But if you didn't adopt the step child, then you owe nothing, regardless of the child's age.

No. Only the parents support the child, not the step parents. What you make will have no impact on how much he has to pay in child support. Even if you marry this woman that will not change.

Can you collect child support if your child is not living with you?

In most cases the parent who has the child doesn't have to pay child support. The parent who does not have the child pays child support if they want visitation rights. In most jurisdictions, the non custodial parent must pay child support even without visitation rights.


When did Washington revise the law which no longer required step parents to pay child support after they had divorced the biological parent?

There is no such law. The only way a step parent could be obligated for child support in such a situation is if he or she had legally adopted the minor child/children. The Washington State law applies only to a step parent paying support until the final dissolution decree is rendered. Once the divorce is final, the step parent has no further legal financial obligation to non biological children.
