No, step-children are not entitled to money from a step-parent unless specifically named in the will.
If their parent inherits from a will, they might be entitled to inherit from their parent's estate. However, most divorces include a statement that any will written prior to the divorce is considered null and void as it pertains to the spouse.

In the state of NC if you were married 20 years and had 4 children and you get a divorce and remarry and your ex also remarries are you eligible for widow's pension at age 60 if he dies?
In general, no. If he contributed to a retirement program while you were married and the divorce decree stated that you have an interest in the account you MAY be entitled to some of the money, but if the judge did not SPECIFICALLY state that you are entitled to the money you are not entitled to any of his money after the divorce. Any of his children who are under 18 may be entitled to survivors benefits. No. When a person remarries they forfeit all legal rights to any share of the previous spouse's SSA, RRB and/or private pension benefits, annutities and so forth. Likewise do any children who have been adopted by a new spouse, as the law considers them to be "removed from the bloodline" and survivior succession laws no longer apply.
Is a married woman that is a victim of domestic violence with children of his entitled to half of her husband's money?
She should be. If she wanted a divorce because of the violence, then she could go to court about this, if then proof is found about the violence, then she will be entitled to half of the money. Normally if they did divorce she would get half of the money but if they signed a contract before marrying of if they divorce then their own possessions, money etc do no be shared, then she would have to go court. Answer In community property states, you are entitled to at least half. However, in some states (Texas!) it is difficult to get what you deserve, particularly if he has the money for a superb lawyer. Domestic violence, documented by pictures and court records, may help, but still you have to calculate the cost of your time and any money you have.
Can your exhusband sue you for money he has given your adult children after the divorce?
No. If he chose to give your adult children money, then that was his decision and you are not obligated to reimburse him for any of it. And to take it a bit further, even if the children were still minor after the divorce and he chose to give them money, you would not be obligated to reimburse him for that, either. Child support money goes to the custodial parent for support of the children, not directly to the children.
