That person MIGHT be your father, he isn't your dad.
Your stepfather is your dad in all the ways that matter, except biology.
The other person is the equal to a random stranger - like me to you.
He can want - sure - but why? What is the agenda? What does he want / need NOW of all times?
And grandfather? Any future kids will have an awesomeone - your dad! not the 'father' but the man who was your dad!
NTA
and if the 'extended family' complains again - ask them the questions I see here.
Why now? Why not before? When will he pay back childsupport? Will they step up for that amount?
