It depends on how much was recovred via the wrongful death case. The first 50K goes to the survivng spouse and the spouse gets one half of anything above that with the surviving children splitting the balance equally. Ala Code Section 43-8-41 and 43-8-42 address this issue. I can e-mail those Code Sections to you if you send me an e-mail at [email protected]
