yes, she may claim compensation and damages for ruining her life and not taking care of her and for that she may approach a lawyer to file a suit for damages and compensation.
The only compensation she has is depriving her father of her love and emtional support. The may has to suffer a tremendous emotional loss. But for that, no suit for any monetary compensation may be maintainable once she has already attained majority. In any case, now since is already 32, the claim, if any, hoplessly barred by law of limitation.
Advice : Avoid litigation and also contact with the gentleman.
