The second, a question. Say a kid gets killed and a settlement is reached
in a wrongful death lawsuit, who gets more money, the father of the kid
or the lawyers ?


Difficult to answer. Since the divorce took place subsequent to the death
(indeed I would have argued in a separate suit that the divorce was caused
by the death) the father is still considered to be a part of the immediate
family.

Had the divorce occurred prior to the death, the father would have been
typically, SOL.
