[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone dies and has an ex and kids, sure.

If someone dies and is remarried with kids plus the kids from the first marriage, no. He would be survived by his wife and children/ not the ex.

[b]Some of you don't seem to get that being divorced means you're no longer family[/b].  It's cool if you personally here as a DCUM commenter are still friendly with your ex but generally speaking  no, a divorce means you the divorced party don't get family privileges any longer. It would be disrespectful to the new spouse to say the deceased is survived by an ex spouse, and also untrue. [/quote]

That is just untrue in many situations, including mine. Of course we had some rough patches in the beginning, navigating this new family structure but we are a family.

I’m the new wife (if you’re a regular reader I’m the one with a big - 29 yr age difference)

DHs obit will very likely read; survived by his children; oldest, middle, youngest (by Susie Ex) and his wife and stepdaughter, Me and DD.

He was married to Susie Ex for 25 years and they had 3 kids together. Of course her name will be in there. [/quote]
