Step-parent can certainly petition the court for things like visitation and even custody of a child, but this can depend on many things such as if the child has their other biological parent in their life, the type of home situation, the age of the child, any current custody agreement in place, how long the step-parent has been in the life of the child, and so on.

Think about this: Can the parent bring the child along to the Missouri Prison system to be raised by her? Probably not. Someone else has to have custody of the child while the mother is incarcerated. Probably, being incarcerated does NOT mean that the mother loses all parental rights. That's another matter, and usually takes some time to arrange.

What rights do you have regarding your mother's property in the event of her death if she married to you stepfather in a community property state?

The rights you have to your mother's property depend on her will and a few other factors. The term "Community Property" does not mean that your stepfather is automatically entitled to all her property. That is a common misconception. The term comes from Spanish Law and has to do with income after marriage. You are in a state that has both Spanish Law and Common Law governing property as a ruling by the United States Supreme Court recently demonstrated. Other than clarify that common misconception, that is all I can tell you. You could ask your mother about her will.
