Legal Advice -

I am 25 years old. Father was never around. My mother raised my brother and I by herself. she never took him to child suport.I wanted to know how can I find out if he added us to his will? and if we can sue him for financial support for college? All I know is that he lives in California and the only time he sent us money was for our birthdays.

Re: Legal Advice -

The age of emancipation is 21. After that your father is not liable for your support or your education.

If there was no prior order for support/education, you can't go back now.

You can't find out if he has a will and who is in it.
