What?Is your father alive or not?

Did your parents give up guardianship---or were you adopted by another couple?

As far as I know, no one is "entitled" to anyone else's inheritance.

I think we need more information to help you.

As pointed out we are going to need more information that what you have provided. Why would you think you would be "entitled" to what your father has? Is he alive or did he pass away? If he did pass did he leave a will?

When I was born my mother had to under go a major brain surgery and signed my guardianship to my grandparents because she was not expected to live or be able to take care of me afterwards.My father just wanted nothing to do with me at all so the court gave my grandparents full guardian ship and then had my last name changed to smith.Recently I was imformed that my father and his sister inheritate money from a relative from germany eversince their father died they receive $200,000 every four years.Am I intitled to any of that money since I was born an Oudeman and my guardian ship was signed over before they were divorced.he didn't want me that doesn't mean that he did not need to pay child support or something right?

You aren't entitled to anything. If you were not in the will, you don't get anything.

Both of my parents are alive and I see my mom and she told me that
I should be intitled to his money considering he was supposed pay child support and never did and he never kept a job so he definitely does not deserve it .and the money that he gets is giving to him for being an oudeman .

My fathers father was an only child and inherited his fathers money and so when he died all of that money was to be divided between the oudeman children .well I was born an oudeman so I get something?

If your last name was changed, I am betting that you were ADOPTED, not that your grandparents were simply guardians.

You are entitled to NOTHING if you were not specified in the will distributing the money.

Did your mother have a court order for child support? How did she manage that, if she wasn't your guardian?

More importantly: How old are you?

NO, you are not entitled to any of your fathers money period. That is his money that he is getting because it was willed to him. The children of the man that passed are getting the money not the grandchildren. Also, I'm going to agree with what was said above, if your last name was changed that sounds like an adoption not guardianship. If they adopted you then your "father" is your grandfather not the man with the money. You are only entitled to some portion of it if it isn't spent and then willed to you.
Again, if there was no court order for child support then he did not and does not owe any support. Did whom ever had custody of you go to court to get an order for support? Again if your grandparents adopted you then he would't owe any support because he was then not legally your father anymore.

Recently i was imformed that my father and his sister inheritate money from a relative from germany eversince their father died they recieve $200,000 every four years.Am I intitled to any of that money since i was born an Oudeman

both of my parents are alive
Sorry... if I am not mistaken your father inherited some money.Right?
And you think you are entitled to get some of the money? No way!!

he didnt want me that doesnt mean that he did not need to pay child support or somthing right?

and i see my mom and she told me that
i should be intitled to his money considering he was supposed pay child support.

I assume your grandparents got permanent guardianship.Your parents might have to continue to provide financial support to you. In other words, the parents may be required to pay child support to the guardian/s/. Child support is handled in a separate proceeding. If the Court granted your grandparents guardianship, they had to file a separate Petition for Child Support in order for the Court to consider their request for child support.

My father never paid child support and now I am 24 years old I am not worried about the child support money I just had thought since he was supposed to pay child support he still has an obligation to give me what is given to him?

Again no. Was there ever a child support order? If there was then your grandparents could still collect (because if they were the ones that were raising you they would have been the ones to get the order). If there was no order then no again, he wasn't ever supposed to pay support. He owes you nothing regardless it would only be the person that had the support order that would be able to collect back support owed. If there was never an order it is too late to get one now that needs to be obtained whild the child is still a minor.

Your thinking is correct. But here is how it works.

1) if your mother never filed for child support and your 24 then there is no child support to collect.

2) the child support is for the child so if there was an order and he is in arrears (behind on payments) then the money is owed to your mother not you.

3) if there is a court order AND he should pass away then YOUR mother would be allowed to collect from HIS estate.

Ok, if your father dies, you may have a claim on his estate if you were not legally adopted, you will need to get and look at the paper work that changed your name.

Child support, your grandparents may have been entitled to support depending again on what the legal status was, guardianship or adoption, if and only if there was a court order at the time you were a child, you don't have a claim to the money only your care givers do

Lol-did you read this:

... and they were OP's guardians till his majority.

i just had thought since he was supposed to pay child support he still has an obligation to give me what is given to him?



i should be intitled to his money considering he was supposed pay child support and never did and he never kept a job so he definitly does not deserve it .
Suppose-
1.To believe, especially on uncertain or tentative grounds
2.To consider to be probable or likely

Excuse me but the facts he has never had a job and he was supposed to pay child support DO NOT give you legal rights.
By the way if you want you may get $10,000 ,hire an attorney and be ready to pay your father's fees,too.
