1, forming a relationship of upbringing and education.
Mainly because after the biological father or mother, the minor stepchildren are raised and educated in whole or in part by the stepfather or stepmother. In this case, the relationship between stepparents and stepchildren is equivalent to the legal relationship between biological parents and children. There is a corresponding mutual inheritance relationship between them. Stepchildren also have corresponding obligations to support stepparents.
2. Education has nothing to do with upbringing.
It is mainly because after the biological father or mother remarries, the stepchildren have grown up and lived independently, or the biological parents have fully assumed the obligation of raising and educating, or the stepchildren have not followed the remarried biological parents, such as living with grandparents. At this time, there is no dependency relationship between stepparents and stepchildren, but only a nominal parent-child relationship, so there is no legal parent-child relationship. There is no corresponding mutual inheritance relationship between the two.
