Cancellation of sealing does not affect children

“Please note that a cancellation of sealing of a wife to her husband does not affect children born in the covenant or previously sealed. Such children are entitled to birthright blessings, and if they remain worthy, are assured the right and privilege of eternal parentage regardless of what happens to their natural parents or the parents to whom they were sealed.”

- Pres. Ezra Taft Benson, [Letter to Deborah Milne’s family, as quoted in Reflections from a Broken Mirror, 146–47.], as quoted in "Children of Divorce" by Elaine Walton in the Aug 2002 Ensign
