Not by law, however a court can rule that if the stepparent has fulfilled the function of a primary parent, than yes.

When did Washington revise the law which no longer required step parents to pay child support after they had divorced the biological parent?

There is no such law. The only way a step parent could be obligated for child support in such a situation is if he or she had legally adopted the minor child/children. The Washington State law applies only to a step parent paying support until the final dissolution decree is rendered. Once the divorce is final, the step parent has no further legal financial obligation to non biological children.

Is caring for a step parent covered under the federal FMLA?

The answer is sometimes yes. If your parent remarried after you were over the age of 18, the new step-parent would not qualify as a parent under FMLA. But a step-parent (or other guardian acting in loco parentis) who fulfilled the day-to-day responsibilities to provide care for and financially support you prior to the age of 18, would qualify. An employer has the right to request documentation which verifies the marriage occured prior to the age of 18 or that the step parent has been acting "in loco parentis".
