It depends on the terms of the will and the divorce decree. In most cases, no, the divorce removed all rights.

Can a surviving spouse file a claim when they are not listed as the beneficiary in the will?

Yes. In most states in the United States a spouse cannot be disinherited by a will. The spouse can file a claim under the doctrine of election. By filing such a claim, the surviving spouse is generally awarded an intestate share of the estate. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your options.

Do you have to pay back child support if the kids are grown and the ex wife is dead?

If your children are no longer minors then you don't have to pay child support. However, if a written document was set-up previously that you also pay support for a college education then you have to fulfill this obligation. If you ex-wife left you in her Will (doubtful) she should have stipulations as to what the children will receive from the Estate and this too is an obligation and carried out by an Executor (male), Executrix (female.) The back child support is owed to the estate of the ex wife. She funded the children without that support, robbing them ofmoney that should have been in the estate. If I were the attorney representing her estate or the beneficiaries of that estate, I'd be knocking on your door with a court order!
