Find yourself a good lawyer, take it before a judge and if nothing can be worked out he'll most likely have to replace every penny plus damages. However if he's a drunk stealing money what would be the point. You'd probably have gray hair before it was paid off if it ever was! At least you'll get
to drag his name through the mud publicly! I'm sure alot of other people would like to know just what kind of thief he really is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can take this matter to SMALL CLAIMS COURT...
You don't need a lawyer,,, you will have to fill out the forms and people within small claims will help you fill out forms if you ask nicely... this will cost you 80 bucks Canadian to start an action as well as 20 bucks for courier and document serving
Good luck Young man don't give up and be patient

You would have an action against your father for breach of trust. You can get free legal representation from the Legal Aid Office. A good place to start is this website to locate a local office: http://www.canlaw.com/legalaid/aidoffice.htm

As a child you still have rights. There are people such as your mother, the court system, the police, child protective services as well as the bank itself (who may have committed a crime as well, allowing your father to commit fraud). Talk to those people first because they can either help you get your money back in the bank where it belongs or they can help you find those that can. Good luck to you.

you have all the rights to call on your factor of your father's ancestral supplies. in the journey that your mom needs to stay aside out of your father, she will word for divorce and seek for repayment out of your father for her livelihood. yet, constantly look on your mom's suggestion till now taking any step.

I think your mother (the trustee) would have to sue in this case. In general, yes, you can sue your father if he steals from you.

As far as the US goes, you would first have to have someone acting as your guardian, but yes, you can sue.

Let me just tell you this clear and simple- NO. And, you're not alone, I kind of know for a fact.
