I defendant is survived by a spouse and issue:
If there is a spouse and a child from the decedent and spouse the spouse would receive the first $150,000 and a half of the remaining estate, and the issue receive the remaining amount.

If there is a spouse but the decedent only has kids from a previous relationship then the spouse would receive the first $100,00 and a half and the issue receives the rest.

If a decedent is survived by a spouse and no issue the spouse receive the entire estate. Unless the decedent has parents, in that case the spouse receives the first $150,000 and 3/4 of the estate and the parents receive the remainder.
