[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having gone through it with my father wife hunting and proposing to multiple women online in the weeks after my mom died, I would say ideally wait until the kids have healed and are adjusting well to life without mom.

At a minumum I would say not until the gravestone marker has been placed and the kids have had time to visit and grieve that.  Gravestones go on about one year after the burial so that makes it 1+ years absolute minimum.

The kids needs to grieve the loss of mom through all holidays, Christmas and birthdays especially. If they can have the first Christmas to grieve and tue second Christmas to realize life goes on, that would be especially helpful.[/quote]

I would also say widowed dads need to establish legal protection to guarantee any assets that were part of mom's estate, especially family heirlooms, family property, family money, or family farms, and also property owned by the original marriage before the spouse's death, are completely protected to be passed on to her children and will not under any circumstances go to future wives, future children, or especially children/grandchildren that new wives bring to the relationship that are not related to you.  This shoukd be established before you start dating. If you are not ready to do this then you are not ready to start dating.[/quote]

That's true for what was moms that wasn't joint property at the time of her death and it should have been mom that set up a will.

For Dads property he might wish for it to be distributed to future kids/step kids/grandkids and wives. Dad might have a long happy life with his next wife too and many relationships might stem from that. Dad should do as he wishes.[/quote]
