Any family member or "person of interest" has the legal right to contest a will. However, the plaintiff has little chance of being successful unless the will can be proved invalid.
There are several things to look for in contesting a will. Was the will written before your birth? Some states specify that those born after the will are automatically added to it. Are you a minor? If so the court will look to benefit the state by avoiding having another person to support and provide somoe of the assets to a trust for the minor. Consult a probate attorney for further help.

Can you collect child support if you are 24 and your father has passed away?
No, you can't. First, you can't sue a parent for child support. Second, there is nobody to collect it from since your father has passed. However, if your father has an estate you could contact the attorney handling the estate or a private attorney to determine if you have any rights in his estate as an heir at law.

Does preschool payment come out of child support payments or does the father have to pay extra for preschool?
Pre-school (daycare provided prior to starting Kindergarten) is considered child care and will be included in child support calculations. Most states require that each parent pay 50% of child care costs, and the non-custodial parent will have these costs included in his or her monthly child support payment. For example, child support might be calculated at $200 per month. If daycare/preschool is $600 per month, then the total monthly child support amount would increase to $500 ($200 + $300). Your custody agreement may specify something different however. Also, most states cap the amount of child care costs included in child support at only those costs that are deemed reasonable amounts. If the preschool is excessively expensive, the amount may be reduced.
