My dad threw away my DDR and memory cards which costed more than a hundred dollars. He got mad at me (for me not wanting to go to university) and cut up my DDR and threw everything in the trash. (Including PS2, but my dad bought that one). Can I file a complaint to the court or something? Because he refuses to pay me back.

Yes you do. That is a tortious act and he is responsible.

Its called "malicious destruction of property" which is a crime and either a Felony or a Misdemeanor depending on the value of the property destroyed!
And you should be able to file a formal complaint with your Police department or your City or County Prosecutor!
Do it and they should be able to recover or Order your father to pay you back for your loss!
Good Luck!

If 1 & 3 are yes and 2 is no file on the jerk!

Are you a minor? Did you purchase the items with money you earned while a minor? If so, you don't own it, your dad does.
If you are an adult, do you live in his house rent free? If so, the cost of your upkeep is a lot more than the value of your "stuff".
Unless you are 18 years of age or emancipated, bought the items with money you earned as an adult, and pay rent, no, you can't sue him. If you don't want to live by his rules, get your own place and support yourself.

Not if you are under 18 then he owns them no matter if you paid for them or not. Better to leave alone for such a small amount. You would have more in court costs then you would get even if you won.

Respect Your Dad...
Be nice as a child...
MONEY is nothing...Father is everything...Child should not challenge his Dad...
What do you think...JUDGE is 'Dad' too... You think he would give Judgment for YOU...
NO...the judge MAY force YOU to pay the Legal costs of your Dad...
FROM now never think about going to the Court... Lawyers and judges are NOTthere to help you...Do U understand?

Yes, you can take him to small claims court. You will need proof that you purchased those items.
