You present two separate issues. You have not obligation for step children in a dissolution. I presume the child belongs to your other spouse. If you contracted to support someone else child, well that is different. The obligation is not from the marriage but from the contract.? The child can enforce the contract through a guardian (the other person in your marriage.) If the promise was for government purposes, again what is the relationship to the child.? Ending the marriage if the child is your spouse's ends the obligation.
