Children of a lady being non-mahrams to her husband's children from another wife

Q: I'd like to know when a lady who has her own kids remarries a man who also has his own children, are the children mahram unto each other?

A: The children are not mahram for each other and thus purdah will have to be observed among themselves.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
