    Sealing question

    I have a friend who was married at 19, had three kids, and divorced three years ago. Last year she joined the church, and her kids were baptized too. Her one year anniversary is coming up and she is thinking about going to the temple, and wants to know whether her kids can be sealed to her, while a single mother.

    Unfortunately her kids cannot be sealed to her. I have been told that kids must be sealed to a married couple.

      Would her ex husband (non member) have to consent to the sealing?

        That's interesting. I think children sealed to a couple are still sealed to them even if they divorce. Thus the kids are sealed to a single parent, in fact two of them.

        I realize thought they were married when originally sealed or born under the convenant.

          Unless the mother has full legal custody then yes.
