Wife just texted me;

Wow, sorry to hear that. Things like this just change so many people's lives in the blink of an eye.

This has just gone really sideways.
I'm offering my full support, I have advice, but at this point the legal vultures have descended and relatives have taken sides and have begun questioning motives.
Being an in-law I will leave this to the outlaw's.

Man-o-man, I'm so sorry to hear this horrible news. My heart aches for those poor kids. People ****ing suck.

Smart move, you'll just want to strangle someone otherwise.

Be there for your wife. Be there if someone calls on you to help those kids. Otherwise, there really isn't much more you can do.

For you fathers and mothers that are reading this thread. This is an eye opener to have your affairs in order. Families do weird shit when someone dies. Having it spelled out who will take your kids and how your financial affairs are to be handled in a will goes a long way towards having things go as smoothly as possible.

Sounds like there is some insurance money up for grabs. Sad. AKDoug has the best advice.

Some Father of 5, here in Mesa, AZ yesterday, got killed on his bike when (it appears) a school bus turned in front of him. Riding bikes is crazy with the number if idiots on the roads... drunk or not.
