My husband and i have been married for 14 years. He did not adopt my other kids so i am trying to figure out can he be used as a legal parent or just my name? thanks

He is a stepparent.  You would be the legal parent.  He would be the step parent.

For purposes of claiming a dependent, a stepparent has the same rights and follows the same regulations as a biological parent (and that does not end with divorce, by the way).  So it really doesn't matter that he has not legally adopted them.

What is the basis of your question or confusion?

For what reason are you asking?
