Choppy: The B’chor for yerusha follows the father. Thus, even if a man has remarried and has had more children with the second wife there will still be only one B’chor for yerusha. For Pidyon Haben, the b’chor follows the mother. Thus, subject to various birthing conditions, a man can have a new b’chor each time he marries a different woman. I don’t mean to sound crass or insensitive – I’m just trying to be very clear.
