I have a doubt about the share of a jointly owned property by a husband and wife. In case the Husband dies, then according to me the father's share would be equally divided between the children and the wife and the other half would solely belong to the wife. Am I right?

Yes, you are right. However, if the father is a Hindu and at the time of his death, if his mother is alive, then she would also have a share in the estate of her such son and accordingly, the father's share in the property would devolve on the mother, wife and the children of such deceased man.
