That will depend on which government department and state you worked in and the department's service rules and regulations related to family pension. There are precedents where courts have held that children born after retirement or children adopted after death of the retiree are entitled to family pension. You need to approach your department first for appropriate directions and then the high court under writ jurisdiction if the family pension entitlements are denied by the department.
