when a spouse dies and has minor children with current wife and adult children with previous marriage, how are wrongful death and survival action settlements distributed. please tell me the minor children would get more seeing as they lost out more on the parent dying. the adult children are already married and have families of their own. do the adult children have to show a dependency on the decease parent in order to receive any inheritance from any money recovered from the lawsuit.
