1. There is no such thing as a guardian of a will.
2. If you have a judgment against your ex. you can make a claim against his share.

I suggest you ask your question again to a family law attorney on this website or through some other medium. There will obviously be some money available in the estate but wether or not you can claim some of it depends on your divorce decree, the provisions made concerning the payments your ex is supposed to make, whether they are child support or alimony payments, etc. In Florida, under certain circumstances, assets can be attached and salaries can be garnished for child support payments that are past due. Ask again in the family law section for details. Good luck.
