It might depend upon length of marriage, age of children during the marriage, closeness with in-laws, reason for the split.
Legally, it could depend upon where you live. For example, in California a former stepparent has certain legal priorities and options if the legal parent passes away or disappears / gets incarcerated, as that former stepparent is, for purposes of a Caregiver Affidavit, considered a "qualified relative" and can take the former stepchild home and enroll the minor child in school and can also authorize medical care if the legal parent is notified and does not assume custody or is unable to be notified.
