Yes she can seek child support alleging a change in circumstance. You should speak to an attorney to discuss your options after a review of your case.
Will her share go to her older children?

Frequently, the children would be next in line (each receiving an equal share), but without reading the Will there is no way for me to know.
I recently commented on a forum post. The situation I commented on was odd and many people questioned it, including me.

Based on the information you shared, I don't think you'd have a viable case for defamation for two reasons. First, you haven't articulated any objectively false statement she made about you. Second, you haven't articulated any damages that you suffered. Hurt feeling are not... Read more »
This seams illegal and in fair to just wait the 7 days and not respond and just send cancel request . Do I have any recourse to make this contract still stand?
The answer to your question is in the contract language. If you used the forms prepared by the Missouri Association of Realtors, the time to send the Inspection Notice and receive a response (including cancellation) is contained in paragraph 7D.

4 months before her death she transferred over half of the trust out of it. There is not near enough to pay what the will states now. Am I liable to sell items that were left specifically to others, ie, her house, car, etc, to make up that money?
Your responsibilities as trustee are very important and handling your aunt’s estate in these circumstances can lead to other issues. You really should sit down with a lawyer to review the trust documents and make sure you do it correctly.
I paid $350+ for a Walmart Grocery pickup order. One of the employees there got into a very heated conversation with me and said "I'm gonna F**K you up, you B***H F****T " among other things. Ultimately, I was never given my order and I had to just accept the abuse.

Given that your actual damages would be tough to calculate and it doesn’t appear that you were physically harmed, you are... Read more »

I am about to be sued for unpaid medical debt. However, my husband is the one who has the insurance through his job, but the bills have always come in my name. He's technically the guarantor, not me. We have requested the bills to be placed in his name countless times, but they never have... Read more »

Will the warrant be dropped when going before a judge
Yes. In fact it what normally happens so a hold is created so that the accused is not released from the holding facility upon resolution of that case.
Your options are to pay the sum, not to pay it, to defense the lawsuit pro se, to hire an attorney to defend the lawsuit, to file bankruptcy, or to try to negotiate a settlement with the plaintiff, doing so either on your own or by hiring an attorney.

No, this case is not going to be dismissed because of statute of limitations. For misdemeanors, the Prosecutor has 1 year from the date of the incident to file charges. In this case, it sounds like the Prosecutor filed the charge well within the 1-year statute of limitations.
You have this posted under Personal Injury, and it remains open for two weeks. This is something a Missouri criminal defense attorney is more likely to know than a personal injury attorney. You could repost under Criminal Law for better chances of a response. Good luck
