Under determinant circumstances, yes.
In Georgia, a step child has no claim on a step parent's estate unless they had been legally adopted by the decedent.
I assume it's not the step parent that is granted visitation. This is something the step parent and spouse have to work out since it's the spouse who has asked for visitation and therefor it's her responsibility to make it work. If the step parent own the house he can choose who's in it and who is not and same goes for the spouse if she owns it. The step parent have no authority over the visitation order.

In Indiana, a stepfather does not have automatic legal rights regarding his stepchildren, such as custody or visitation, unless he has legally adopted them. However, a stepfather may have certain responsibilities and rights if he has established a relationship with the children and is acting in a parental role. In cases of divorce or separation, a stepfather may seek visitation rights through the courts, but this typically requires a demonstration of a significant relationship with the child. Legal rights can vary based on individual circumstances, so consulting with a family law attorney is advisable.
Generally, no. However, you have not provided any detail and there may be circumstances under which an unfit mother may lose custody to a step father who has been a stable parent to the child. You should speak with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.
now a stepfather can't adopt a child without the concent of the child's father
Provided the father provides the spouse with a POA, but it would be best to modify the custody/visitation orders to avoid interpretations. see link for help.

If you're asking who the baby is to the one who gave birth to it, the baby is the child of the half sister, making her the baby's mother. As for the stepfather, he would be the child's father and step grandfather. But if he and the half sister's mother divorce, then he would no longer be the child's step grandfather. But he would, of course, still be the baby's father.
In Georgia, a stepparent does not have automatic legal rights to pick up a child for scheduled visitation unless they have been granted specific legal authority, such as through a court order. Generally, only the biological parents or legal guardians have the right to make decisions regarding visitation. However, if the biological parent has authorized the stepparent to pick up the child, this can be acceptable. It's important for stepparents to have clear communication and possibly written consent from the child's parent to avoid any legal issues.
Once a stepfather legally adopts his stepson, he is no longer considered a stepfather; he is legally recognized as the boy's father. The adoption process grants him all the rights and responsibilities of a biological parent, and the legal relationship is that of father and son. Thus, after adoption, he is fully integrated into the child's legal family structure.
No. There are no provisions in the laws of Georgia that provide step-parents with visitation rights. A step-parent has no legal standing. They would need to bring suit and take their chances with a judge.
