Thank you for replying to me. If I add his first wife will it show that I am his second and still married. And that the children are not mine. |

One thing to be careful of is that you need permission to put living people on your tree. |

I'm not 100% sure about how it displays spouses but I assume it takes the marriage dates and the first will be on the left and the last on the right. |

It doesn't show directly that you are still married but there is a divorced box in the data for a marriage. |

If you select full view it does show someone who has married twice as a copy in a different part of the tree. |
