More details to this question:
My father whom I never had a typical relationship with passed away. I heard his assets are going into probate. My step mother whom I have no contact with is hoping no one contests the will. I don’t know what’s in the will but by her behavior I am assuming their are assets that she’s hoping to be the sole heir to. I live on the other side of the country, who do I contact to get information on what’s in the Will, my chances of getting part of the assists?

Contact a probate lawyer. You will be asked to sign a waiver to probate, which takes away your right to object. If you do not sign, you will be "cited" to attend a hearing. You will need a lawyer for that hearing.
