Dear Sir/madam

Legally second wife has no share but her children has equal share along with you and your mother. Please get change katha in the name of your mother let the others go to Court. It will take 10 years to decide till then you can enjoy.

children will have equal rights over the property whether born to first wife or second wife is not the question. mother will also have equal share. for more details, we need to talk to in person. Regarding the second wife, whether marriage was legal. etc
