As bizarre as even you seem to find it, that is exactly what is happening. There are MANY cases out there where stepparents are being forced to pay financially for children that are not biologically theirs.

Hmmmm... nope, I don't buy this at all. Give me one instance where a step-parent has been forced to pay for someone else's children.

Step-parents, and even grandparents, petition for visitation rights these days.

Of course, visitation rights are not custody rights. But you knew that, right?
