LAW IS SILENT
ON STEPFATHERS
They Are Not required to
Support Stepchildren.
OPINION GIVEN BY DUvALL
Corporation Counsel Thinks That LeOis-
iation on Subject Is Not
Advisable.

AT common law a stepfather was not
required 70 support his stepchfldran
There is no statutory provision reouir-
ing such support in the District OF Co
lumbia."
This opinion was submitted In the Dis-
trict Commissioners today bv Cornora-
ton Counsel Duvan. VINO has had the
point under consideration since last
June.
At that time Mrs. John Milton Glitter
man requested the Commtseio,ers -
inform her whether there H. law Pc
curing stepfathers 10 support their stem
children, and to consider the adNrisaF,iI
10y OF framing such a law II none ex-
Mrs. Gitterman brought up the poiut
because she had seen cases of little
children being badly treated and nor
cared for by stepfathers.
alter SAYING that under the present
ID ID " tepIdHlefs may cast off their step
chiIufeh with lmpunity and refuse to
support them without punishment. Mr.
DuvaH continues his opinion as follows.
w nile, as suggested by Mrs Glitter
man, there may be some good reasons
TOT extending such provision 10 the
chiiGren or remarked widows in the
District of Columbia, il may be that the
erect OF such legislation would be 10
deter such re-marriages-a result which
would be quite undesirable
doubtless there are cases OF hard
ship resulting from the present condi-
ton OF the law on the subject. but I am
rather inclined TO think that legislation
on the subject is not advisable.
Mr.. Duvall points out that the only
law on the subject OF supporting chill
dren is one requiring the parent or
legal guardian" OF a child TO give il
the necessary support, failure of which
SHAH be punished by a fine OF not more
than 800 or imprisonment in the work
house for not more than three months.
or by both fine and imprisonment.
He says that, II the Commissioners so
desire. the law could be readily extend
ed TO embrace delinquent stepfathers
The Commissioners have not taken such
action.
