What is considered a stepchild? [closed]

I believe a stepchild is a child to a former partner. So, if it's your former partner with someone else, right? If your former partner adopted a child? What if for some reason you have a child with your former partner? Is that your step child or your child? I don't really understand how stepchild is defined?


Solution 1:

A stepchild is your partner's child from a former relationship.

For example if Gary marries Jane, and Jane already has a daughter named Alice, then Alice becomes Gary's stepdaughter.
