You would not have a claim for child support, it would be a claim your mother had. If the child support was reduced to a judgment she would have a claim she can bring in the Estate.

You may also have some other claim to his Estate, but you would need to contact a Probate Attorney in Maryland to assist you. You should not delay in finding an attorney because there are usually deadlines for when things must be filed with the court.
Good luck.
