You can sue anyone for anything at any time, but you might not win. Make an appointment with your local attorney at law and discuss your case. If you have a strong case, he or she might agree to represent you. If not, you will have a hard time finding a lawyer.
Don't take my advice though, I am only a law student. See a lawyer. It is important to do so quickly, because your state probably has a statute of limitations. This means that if something happens to you, you only have a certain amount of time to sue in court for damages. You should also begin collecting all documentation and evidence of any wrongdoing immediately to support your case. See a lawyer as soon as possible if you are seriously considering any type of legal action. Some lawyers will even work on contingency, meaning that you only have to pay him or her if you win. These lawyers, however, will only accept you as a client if you have a strong case.
Keep in mind though, if the father is unemployed, it might be difficult to collect. You should also consider other factors. Are you close with this family member? If so, a lawsuit will ruin any relationship you have with them. If there is a lot of money involved, it could ruin this family members life.
Long story short, see a lawyer immediately, and think very hard before suing a family member.
Good luck.

You can't get money out of the unemployed, and if the father is illgal, good luck findimg him if he doesn't want to be found. If you ARE the father, go to Legal Aid, and ask for a an Immigration and Family Law lawyer.
His mother was unemployed, his father was a customs official

Yes, a son can purchase a house from his father as long as his father is the owner and there is no outstanding mortgage.
If you are already married to the child's mother and everyone is living together as a family unit, it probably is not diffcult to do so. File the papers at your local Clerk Of Court office.
If the father becomes unemployed, he should immediately contact the court to seek relief from the child support obligations. He may NOT just stop paying.
No, and he should get a modification
Well, not you personally. But your father's estate will have to settle the outstanding liabilities. If your family cannot agree on a executor, the court will appoint one. The executor's job is to see that all bills are paid prior to distribution of the estate to the heirs.
