A minor can't execute a binding contract, sign a complaint or hire an attorney because they don't have legal capacity. For that reason, a guardian must be appointed by the court to act on behalf of the minor in legal matters.
From what i have heard not for causing a car accident, but the parents can.
can you sue someone over 18 for assaulting a minor
My son has been assaulted at school can he sue the boy who attacked him

Yes
You want money because someone is abusing their child? I don't believe you would have standing (a legal right) to sue since you are not a party.
You can always be sued. In such a situation, your wife will probably sue you for divorce, and the pregnant woman will probably sue you for child support.
Generally, no, but their parents or guardian (if the parents refuse) can do it for them.
Yes, it is possible to sue someone under 16, but the process may be more complicated as minors are considered legally incompetent and their parents or legal guardians may need to be involved in the proceedings. The court may also appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the minor's interests.
Youi can very well sue your ex husband , even if you have child,if he has lied and already got a wife and child , you can file a case against him.

Yes. There is nothing that prohibits someone suing on behalf of their minor child without the consent of the other parent.
It does not sound like a likely case that would be successful. The child is long grown and on his/her own.
can you sue someone over 18 for assaulting a minor
The short answer is no - the long answer is yes, depending on the circumstances. If you sustained injuries, you can sue for punitive damages regardless of the child's age. Parents of the child cannot necessarily sue the parents unless they were negligent in the care or restraint of the child. For example, you cannot sue the parents of the child if they weren't present, however, you can sue the parents if they were present and did nothing to restrain the child from assaulting you.
Yes a child can sue a parent for unpaid child support if there was a child support order.
