Who knows about private investigators?

I am sorry for your loss.

A PI is not likely to be able to determine with any certainty that this child is your father's. That would require genetic testing, and PIs can't order that or do it surreptitiously.

A PI MIGHT be able to see who is listed on the birth certificate, but this is almost certainly her husband whether or not he is the father, so that's not really what you want. If they divorced on grounds of adultery because it was obvious that the kid wasn't his, a PI could determine that, but that still doesn't necessarily point the finger at your father, as she could have had yet another man on the side.

Really, all a PI could do for you is get you into contact with her. And even that is not certain: ethics demand that the PI contact her first and ask if she wants to be found by you, and if she says no then the PI cannot give you any information.

thanks dude.

If someone has a baby out of wedlock but refuses to pay support (in case of death) - can the baby momma come after his assets even if they are shared ?

I'm not certain of how this would work with regards to inheritance law. That depends heavily on jurisdiction, so you should speak to a local lawyer who specializes in these things.

The things you've said imply that your mother owns her home. Do you know exactly how the ownership was expressed (for example, as a tenancy by the entireties, or as a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, or as someting else)? This could be important.
