If I divorce my wife, will she still have authority over my father's estate?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
If you mean Power of Attorney from your father to your wife, the Power of Attorney died with your father; so she loses all control over the estate. You should obtain the assistance of probate legal counsel to file a petition into probate court to have you appointed administrator of his estate.

Will the estate have to go only to the child from previous marriage if it was purchased from that marriage?

Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
Assets owned by the deceased person at death will be part of the decedent's estate unless the ownership terms of the asset (joint tenancy, transfer on death, designated beneficiary, etc) dictate the subsequent owner. The assets in the decedent's estate are distributed in accordance with the terms of the decedent's will, if any. If no will then in accord with the statute on descent and distribution. If no will, the spouse receives of the estate and the children of the decedent equally share in the remaining half, with the descendants of a deceased child dividing the deceased child's share. If your husband purchased and owned the house then it would be in his estate. All of his children, including the child of a prior marriage, would receive equal shares in of his estate and you, as spouse, would receive of the estate. If there is a will then the terms of the will would control and your husband's estate would be distributed in accord with the terms of the will.
