I'm assuming you mean by a stepparent? No, but you may not know they have been adopted. In Missouri, when you've had no contact with the children, whether by choice or denial of access, for six months, the child can be adopted with notification or approval. If you haven't filed an enforcement action, which most fathers cannot afford to do, you may not learn for months or years about the adoption.
The child is no longer your responsibility once they are adopted by someone else.
I would say, though have never been asked this specific question. I assume you were married and now divorced or divorcing?

Yes. You must terminate your parental rights in order for a legal adoption to take place. All your obligations and rights to the child are terminated at that time.
they shouldnt. they child was placed in a new home perminatly. there shoulf be no child support with the new family unless it is needed by one of the parents.
The former obligor has to pay any support due as of the date of the adoption, unless the court specifically states otherwise.

In Georgia, a step child has no claim on a step parent's estate unless they had been legally adopted by the decedent.
Normally, after children are adopted out, a person no longer pays child support. Still, the court or law decides. This is read by 50 states and nearly 200 countries. In your situation, who knows? Why isn't he challenging for custody? see links below
No, but he is the stepfather to Demi Moore's children.
No, a person will not be ordered to pay child support on any children that are not his. The only way a person would be ordered to pay child support a child who is not theirs is if they had legally adopted that child.
An adopted minor child has the same equal rights to financial support by the parents as does a biological child.
Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.
Yes. It does not matter how many children someone has fathered, one still has to pay for child support for all his children. However, in many states, child support PER CHILD is reduced because of the number of children a parent has to support. However, the total amount paid will be higher. Also, a father does not have to pay child support if his parental rights were terminated and the child was adopted by someone else.
No, once a child is adopted, the original parent or parents have no more rights to the child. This also means that child support is not required.
Unless you adopted your wife's children, you should not be required to support them after the divorce.
