Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom they could share regarding these two scenarios: Scenario No. 1: In this first case, Husband No.1 (who is NOT an LDS member) marries Wife No. 1 (who is LDS) in a civil ceremony. Husband No.1 and Wife No.1 are NEVER married in the Temple (because Husband No.1 is not a member.) They attend church together as a family for 20 years and have a number of children. Unfortunately, Wife No.1 makes life absolutely miserable for all involved leading to divorce. Again, at the time of their marriage and divorce, Husband No.1 is NOT an LDS member - therefore no Temple ordinances were performed as to marriage or in sealing the children. Assume that following his divorce from Wife No. 1, Husband No. 1 (who always loved attending Church with his family) later converts and becomes a member. If Husband No. 1 later decides to marry again to Wife No. 2 (who has never been married and is also LDS) in the Temple, can Husband No. 1 get sealed to Wife No.2 and his children from his previous marriage (without including Wife No.1 in that sealing?) Would the husband need to get her consent to do that? Scenario 2: Assume again that Husband No. 1 (non-LDS) and Wife No. 1 (LDS) (who have NOT been married in the Temple) divorce. Can Wife No.1 later get married to an LDS man (who is not the biological or adoptive father of the children) in the Temple and get sealed to the children that were a product of her marriage with Husband No. 1 (and assuming that Husband No. 1 will not give his consent?) Is there any way that Wife No. 1 can be sealed to those children if she is no longer married to Husband No. 1, regardless of whether she ever marries again (LDS or non-LDS)? (And quite frankly, the children do not want to spend all time and eternity with her; do they get any say in the matter?) Hopefully, that is a little clearer. Thanks all. If anyone has scriptural cites, that would be helpful as well. This sad situation involves a family member, so any insight would be helpful. Thanks again.
