You will need to see an attorney to determine the answer to this question. It will be entirely dependent on the state law in the state where your father resided before his death. When you visit with the attorney, you should take a list of your father's living and dead relatives including spouse, children, and parents. It is helpful if you mark the ones who are deceased in some way. In addition, if you know what assetts he owned and where they are held (bank, insurance, stock broker etc.) make a list of that also. Since his debts must be cleared, you should make a list of the debts of which you are aware. Finally, if you father died by any means other than old age, you should be prepared to relate the circumstances to the attorney.

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.
