The short version is that in the modern law of Nevada, most other states, and many countries, there is essentially no difference in the "rights" of children to support, and usually inheritance, regardless of the marital relationship or lack of it of their parents.  However, there can be many variations in fact patters, and the facts stated are very sparse, so it would be a very good idea to consult with a will, trust, and estate lawyer as to those issues, a family law specialist as to any support and custody matters, and probably the Social Security administration as to any questions regarding public benefits if those are in issue.
