I'd have to know more facts about your case. Was the marriage "denied" because the man had not completed a prior divorce? Some appellate courts have said that isn't a reason to deny alimony, at least not where fraud is involved. And I think you have a good point regarding the step-parent adoption. You need to speak to a lawyer. I'd be happy to speak to you for free because your case sounds interesting.
