The question is unclear as to to exactly whom the questioner is referring. It appears as if the scenario is: That their step-father died - the step-mother re-married - and they want to contest the deceased step-father's will.
The question is do you have legal "standing" to contest the will.
If they were legally adopted they MAY have 'standing' to question the will. However if the deceased made a conscious decision to omit them from his will, they probably cannot prevail.
You should consult an attorney practicing in your state for further information

Your mother and father are divorced they were cohabitating at the time of his death can you contest his will?
You can only contest a will by proving that the person was not of sound mind at the time it was written, or (and this is very hard) by proving that they intended to change their will but were not able to before there death. Marriage has nothing to do with it, many a husband has left their wife and kids out of their will.
