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.

Whether or not the children can contest the will would depend on various factors, such as the specific laws in the relevant jurisdiction and the terms of the will. In some circumstances, children may have valid grounds to contest a will if they believe that they have been unfairly excluded or treated. It would be advisable to consult with a lawyer who specializes in estate law to evaluate the specific situation and determine the children's legal options.

When father remarries and makes a will but leaves everything to the new wife and their adult child what can the first biological adult children do from the first marriage?
No. A parent has no responsibility to their adult children. There is no requirement that they leave them anything. They could contest the will, but that will certainly cost money, take time and not make anyone happy.
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.

In Florida what are the rights of adult children when parent remarries and then dies and parent at the age of 80 plus made many accounts joint with 2nd spouse who survives him?
In Florida, adult children do not have automatic rights to the joint accounts made with the parent's second spouse. If the accounts were set up as joint accounts with rights of survivorship, they would pass directly to the surviving joint owner. The adult children may have a claim if they can prove that the joint accounts were not intended to be gifts to the second spouse, but this can be legally complex and challenging to prove. Consulting with a probate attorney in Florida would be advisable in this situation.
