4my, this is a social not a family arrangement. Until exs mum adopts you there is no legal tie. A community arrangement.
These children aren't legal "sisters" and ex has no step parent rights in your D. You have no legal rights to these other children although you feel responsible for them. They are playmates, friends plus plus for your D.
My concern is largely if this social structure deteriorates (OW perhaps creating loyalty issues) you and your child may get hurt. As long as you are aware of it, I think it's ok.
That of course does not affect how you feel about each person, just the legalities. Is this usual in your culture? What would happen if OW and ex had a child? Does OW have children to fit into this?
