Advice from step parents needed - Ottawa Divorce .com Forums

I'm seperated, with a four year old. We have shared custody and it's going fairly well.

However, I'm moving on, and my girlfriend has moved in.

I think it's going towards marriage, so just want to make sure everything goes smoothly.

The first issue is financial. I make slightly less then her, but we both make good salaries. The problem is that after I've paid child support and paid for all of my daughters expenses, my discretionary income is much lower. is there a general norm for sharing these expenses?

Second, any advice on how to make the transition from "friend" to parental figure? She is great for my daughter, but they both seem stuck in being more friends.
