It is unlikely that your dad's girlfriend went to a judge -- man or woman -- and on the strength of an unsigned will got everything. The girlfriend cannot inherit. Go look at the probate file to see what really happened. If they did, for instance, falsely say that she was his wife, then you can pursue the matter further. If it turns out that there was a will, that would be a different story. You dad's story about saving all the child support (instead of giving it to you) and that it would be there when he died sounds like a bunch of bull.
