How do I separate separate marriages with multiple children?
For Instance, my mother was married twice; to my father and to my older siblings father. When I started creating my tree, I added my mother and father, and then my siblings, but now it shows up that we all are linked to both of them. Is there a way to separate that? Thanks!

Yes, and it's fairly straightforward. You can see that my ancestor LHJ8-NZQ was married 3 times, with children with each wife.
You can also show step relationships, if you wish.

I think the easiest way to get to a state like what Áine mentioned is to go to your mother's profile and use the "Add Spouse" button to add her first husband, then use "Add Child" - "By ID Number" to add your siblings to that couple. You can also edit their relationships to your father to say "step", or remove that relationship, whichever seems more appropriate to you. (I'd probably do the "step" relationship type, because if you remove the relationship, then you will only be able to see your siblings if you go to your mother's profile's Details page.)
