No, the father can not force his parents to pay the child support on his behalf. The court can't order that anyone but the parent be obligated to pay support for the child. If there is a trust fund to which the father is entitled, then the trust fund can be attached for payment of the support.

No. The parents have no legal obligation to pay the support of the father. If they help, that is nice of them but they cannot be legally forced to pay the father's support obligation.
