As a rule, parents are financially responsible for their biological children only not step children unless those children have been legally adopted by the new spouse.
There have been exceptions however. Courts have ruled in favor of the custodial biological parent pertaining to financial support of such children if the marriage was valid for a lengthy time. (The definition of lengthy being left to the court's discretion.) The premise being, the non biological parent voluntarily accepted responsibility for the care of the children in question by entering into the marriage.
