the arrears are what they are. the only thing he can do is request a modification to the agreement; however, the mother dying is not a good reason to not provide support that was promised. it is definitely a matter for the court to decide.

This is really between the kids and him now.
If you feel like you should be compensated for taking care of the grandson while at college, then you can seek that out.
Frankly, at 22, the young man needs to either earn his own money, or negotiate with his father for his support.
Personally, I don't feel parents OWE their adult children support, even if they are in college.
If the parent and adult child can come to an agreement about the level of support, that's great.
Courts should not be involved past a child's emancipation, which is typically 18 or high school graduation. I believe court ordered support of adult children deprives the child of some very important life lessons, such as making a strong case for parental support, and learning to be self-sufficient.
Besides, I think you might spend more than the approx $7500 in arrears to take this to court.

If the arrears were for the college child, he still owes the money, and he sue for the amount due to him. I don't think they can collect the past due for his daughter since he has taken custody of her. But I have a bit of trouble believing that a court ordered child support until age 22. The courts order child support until age 18, unless the child is a full time student,then it stops at age 19.

Get a lawyer ..the money is for the kids not his exwife. The fact that she passed away doesn't change things
