What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey

My father passed with no will. He was separated but not divorced. Me, my sister and brother are from his first marriage and were wondering what rights we have to his assets if any?

According to NJ intestacy law, his wife gets half, and you siblings split half.

His wife has a daughter from another marriage. Does that matter? Thanks
