Consult a lawyer as soon as possible. The basic expectation is that the estate will be split in two. Half will go to the current spouse and the other half will go to the children from any previous marriage.
The decedent's estate will pass according to the state laws of intestacy in your jurisdiction. You can check the laws in your state at the link provided below.
