Tell us how the children survived this mess, if you feel comfortable doing so.
Did they stay with the father? How old were they when the family was torn apart? Are they good Catholics presently?
I don't know really. She has full custody now that he's gone, and they're not being raised Catholic, that's for sure. But their father made the First Saturdays with them, so in the end Our Lady will come back for them. When they get to adulthood, we extended familiy will makes sure to intervene, tell them about their father, and try to bring them back to the Church. This woman is so spiteful and always playing games, suing every time someone looks at her funny, so we don't maintain a lot of contact ... not that she would allow us to talk to the kids anyway. Their father left the life insurance proceeds for them in a trust account, so when they turn 18, we, the trustees, will be back in touch with them to deal with the money situation.
