Regarding steps, my Chapter takes them on a case by case basis and when need be we investigate. Some examples:
- We once had a step Mom who just met and married the Dad within the last year or two. That PNM was not given legacy status.
- Another step Mom had practically raised the PNM so she was considered a legacy.
- We once had an active whose step sister was going through. The active told me point blank she never lived with her step sister and couldn't stand her, so we didn't give that PNM legacy status. (I guess the feeling was mutual because she was courtesy invited back to 2nd round so there wouldn't be any family friction for our active and the PNM dropped us.)
