PARENTS LIABLE FOR SUPPORT AND EDUCATION -- DECEASED PARENT --
LIABILITY OF ESTATE. Each parent of a child born out of wedlock is liable for
the necessary support and education of the child and for the child's funeral
expenses. If a parent dies, an order of support or a judicially approved
settlement made prior to that parent's death shall be enforceable as a claim
against the deceased parent's estate in an amount to be determined by the
probate court not greater than is provided in the order of settlement, having
regard to the age of the child, the ability of the surviving parent to support
and educate it, the amount of property left by the deceased parent, and the
number, age and financial condition of those other persons legally entitled to
support by the deceased parent during his or her lifetime.
