Is it legal to sue a 14 year old kid?
You cannot sue a minor. You may be able to sue their parents or guardians.
Can your exhusband sue you for money he has given your adult children after the divorce?
No. If he chose to give your adult children money, then that was his decision and you are not obligated to reimburse him for any of it. And to take it a bit further, even if the children were still minor after the divorce and he chose to give them money, you would not be obligated to reimburse him for that, either. Child support money goes to the custodial parent for support of the children, not directly to the children.
Can an adult sue their parent for withholding child support that was provided for them?
In what way did they withhold it? Money given to take care of a child could be put to the mortgage, clothes, food and all sorts of things. It wasn't money that was to be handed to the kid to use as they wished. A minor has no rights to the money.
Is there any mimimum age at which you are entitled to sue?
Persons under 18 are not recognized by the law. Therefore, in order to sue or be sued, a person under 18 needs a "next of friend" or a conservator or an adult who will stand in the minor person's shoes and act on their behalf. This adult will need an attorney and will not act as a witness instead of the minor person.

Can an adult child sue his or her parents for money that was in a will for the child but the parents stole it?
Depends upon a number of factors. Was the child a minor when the will was executed? If so, probably not. And what was the amount? Hardley worth it for a few thousand dollars. What was the wording of the will? That can make a difference about how the money could be used. Consult an attorney, but I'd be thinking twice about suing my own parents, most juries aren't going to like someone suing their folks.
Can an adult sue a father for not paying child support?
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
