If there is not will and the child is not the natural child of the deceased, and has not been adopted, they have no legal standing to inherit anything. If the child is the descendant of the wife and not the deceased, the child will get nothing directly, the wife will inherit. And if there were children of the deceased, but not the wife, those children may inherit some things.
