ex-stepfather
Once mom's husband
An ex-stepfather is a man who was formerly married to one's parent but is no longer—either through divorce or the parent's death.
The relationship may persist socially even after the legal connection ends: My ex-stepfather still comes to Thanksgiving.
The term clarifies that the stepfather relationship existed but has terminated.
