I got married legally but haven’t been to the temple. For unrelated reasons. But things have not been going well, and we want to get a divorce. I want to know what will happen with our children. Can they be sealed to us even though we’re divorcing?

AnĂ³nimo from Aqp,

Hi brother. I'm sorry to hear that your marriage is troubled. Without knowing any of the details, I can't really give any concrete counsel. But I hope you've done everything you possibly can to preserve your marriage, especially for the sake of your children.

Unfortunately, a child cannot be sealed to only one parent. Hopefully they'll choose to be sealed to their own future spouses so they can benefit from that blessing.

I hope this answers helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions. I'm happy to help.
