A friend, a good friend, doesnt want to claim anything.
But basically his mother received no child support from the Father and the father has acknowledged his existence to his half siblings, one of which gave him his fathers email address, he wrote but never got a reply. He basically ran off with a new woman when my mate was 6 months old, but his brother, his uncle has kept in touch with him.
Anyway, his father is sick. What is the law in NZ, does an estranged child have any rights to the will? As he was born in 1974, I presume he has no way of suing the father for not paying his mother child support?
I know it would depend on a lot of things but Im curious as I have a cousin in a similar situation.
