A.According to the Hindu Succession Act, 2005, the children of the second wife have equal rights as the children of the first wife on their father’s (self-acquired and ancestral) property.

Children from both the marriages counts among the legal Class I heirs and will get equal rights in the property.

A.Dear Sir,
The terms of divorce will prevail. Normally the rights of children of first wife well be settled in the alimony given to their mother.

A.Hi Shaleen,

What was the nature of divorce? how older was the child?

In my humble opinion:-

A divorce is an end of the relation between husband & wife, but the biological relation and claims remain the same.
A child is entitled to the share in the ancestral property inherited by his father and grandfather. A divorce between the father and mother does not deprive the child of his/her inheritance rights.
