Unless your current wife is the legal parent, it may be difficult to ensure she retains custody if you pass. If bio permits an adoption, she will not have to pay support. Might use that as a lever.

You can have her relinquish custody and your new wife could adopt. There are investigation fees involved, even if you don't have an attorney, so it could cost you, in court costs, about $1200.
