excommunication
If you had children after being excommunicated, have died and your still living children are less-active members how can they be sealed to their mother? Also, if the children do not want to be sealed to their mother (because of a lack of understanding) will it need to be done after they have passed?

FYI
Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
The matter that you have raised is somewhat, 'delicate', to say the least.
Certainly, a matter, that should not be directly responded to (or, promulgated) here, in this Forum.
Regardless of your status, can I humbly suggest that you, make an appointment; and, counsel with, one of the Local Priesthood Leaders (eg. Bishop; or, Branch President; or, Stake/District President) of the Church, in your local area, in the first instance, for guidance and direction, on this matter.
I would humbly suggest, that the guidance and direction, on this matter, that you get, from the Local Priesthood Leaders (eg. Bishop; or, Branch President; or, Stake/District President) of the Church, in your local area, will help/assist you.
As an aside ...
Hopefully, a "Moderator" [ ie. 'FamilySearch' "Support" (Personnel) ], here, in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, will 'notice' your post here, in this particular 'Category'; and, TAKE ON, this 'Post' of yours, into the inner workings of 'FamilySearch' "Support", to communicate with you directly and privately.
Just give it some time, for a "Moderator" [ ie. 'FamilySearch' "Support" (Personnel) ], to notice your post, here.
Furthermore ...
And, just for future reference ...
The best place to post, a 'Question' (or, 'Request') pertaining to "Temple" Work, would be under that 'Category' of "Temple", here in this "Q and A" Section; rather, than this particular 'Category' of "FamilySearch Community"; as, this category pertains principally to this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
Here is a direct link to the 'Category' of "Temple":
"Q and A" Section
'Category' = "Temple"

I hope this helps.
Good Luck.
I hope, that it all works out, for you and your Family.

Hi @FarrLoryKim1. We understand your concern about what to expect when family members become less-active or leave the Church for any reason. Your question is about how to handle ordinance concerns for living individuals, and those questions should be discussed with your local Church leaders such as your Bishop and Stake President just as @Brett . has suggested. All ordinances concerns that involve living individuals should be handled by your ecclesiastical leaders.
FamilySearch can help answer Temple Policy questions regarding your deceased ancestors, and our Help Center at FamilySearch has a category dedicated to answering temple-related questions about your deceased ancestors.
To view current Temple Policy information sign into your FamilySearch account and click the Help icon, then click Help Center. You will see the Temple Help icon. Click that icon and type a phrase about your concern.
We hope that working directly with your local leaders you can find answers to your questions. Thank you for sharing your concern.
