Avoid intersection in genealogytree of p and union

Question

I would like the dashed and solid edges into the "Wife box" to enter the other way around to avoid intersections.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[all]{genealogytree}             
\begin{document}
\gtrset{
    level 0/.style={level distance = 5mm},
    dashed/.style={family edges={foreground={black,very thick,dashed},xshift=-1cm}}
}
\begin{tikzpicture} 
\genealogytree[timeflow = right,box={height=5mm,width=25mm,halign=center}]{ % 
    child{
        union[dashed]{
                p[male,tikz={yshift=5mm}] {  A.N.Other }
                    c[female,tikz={yshift=2mm}] {  Out of wedlock }
            }
        g[female] {  Wife }
        p[male] {  Husband}
                    c[male] {  Child of marriage }
    }
   }
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

See this related question: How can I set height order in genealogytree to avoid edge crossings?. You could change the order of union and p. It would be better to change the title to something meaningful and put the question into the text (as I did in my edit) and add an image of your result. — dexteritas, Jul 25 '23 at 15:23

%The trick is to include a second "union" command
    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[all]{genealogytree}             
\begin{document}
\gtrset{
    level 0/.style={level distance = 5mm},
    dashed/.style={family edges={foreground={black,very thick,dashed},xshift=-1cm}}
}

\subsection*{Original layout}

\begin{tikzpicture} 
\genealogytree[timeflow = right,box={height=5mm,width=25mm,halign=center}]{ % 
    child{
        union[dashed]{
                p[male,tikz={yshift=5mm}] {  A.N.Other }
                    c[female,tikz={yshift=2mm}] {  Out of wedlock }
            }
        g[female] {  Wife }
        p[male] {  Husband}
                    c[male] {  Child of marriage }
    }
   }
\end{tikzpicture}

\subsection*{Layout with second union command}
\begin{tikzpicture} 
\genealogytree[timeflow = right,box={height=5mm,width=25mm,halign=center}]{ % 
    child{
        union[dashed]{
                p[male,tikz={yshift=5mm}] {  A.N.Other }
                    c[female,tikz={yshift=2mm}] {  Out of wedlock }
            }
        g[female] {  Wife }
    union{
        p[male] {  Husband}
                    c[male] {  Child of marriage }
    }
    }
   }
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
