Was raised with my mother frum the age of 6. Dad lives in another state he doesn't pay child support. Was never told to. He has 3 other kids my brothers and sister. All have a great life except me.

Didn't your mother file for child support? And what difference does it make if his 3 other kids "have a great life" and you don't? You make your own way in this life without his help/money. Who told you he didn't have to pay child support?

[Yungfeenxm23]

No my mother has nevet filed for child support. She didn't wan to put him true that. Now she regrets not doing it. Yess you are right I make my own way in this life but the difference between myself and my siblings are there citizens oof the u.s.a I'm not. And my father is holding that away from me.

No you can't sue him. If your mother did not file for support then that was her mistake.

As for citizenship, is he listed on your birth certificate? How is he holding US citizenship from you?

[Fr_Chuck]

Sorry no, if anyone is more at fault, sorry it is your mom. You dad while he may have had a moral duty o pay, did not have a legal duty to pay since your mother never filed for support.

Your father can not hold anything away from you, if you are his child and he was a citizen then you are a citizen. You will merely have to prove he is your father that that point

He's holding U.S. Citizenship from me by not fileing documents for me. My mother can't do it because she has the same status as me. He's really greefy he wants to get it done where he is so he can get social security benefits. I don't live with him though. Im with my mother

Were you born in the U.S. If so, without regard to who your father is, you are a U.S. citizen. So I assume you were not.

Is he on your birth certificate? You may have to prove that he is your father. This would require paternity testing. Has such testing ever been done?

Then, to answer your question as to whether you can sue him for neglect: probably not. For one thing, much of it would be barred by a statute of limitations, I expect.

Wow- what a sad story. .
Children have a right to be taken care of. Especially if they have a deadbeat father who has neglected to provide the child with the very minimum of anything - either emotional support or the basics of food clothing & shelter... what a big man.
I would be pretty angry with him.
Sure, your mom didn't file for support- but he did probably know you were out there in the world somewhere.
My son's father was the same way. I didn't sue him because he scared the heck out of me, and I was too young and stupid. Perhaps if my neglectful father had done his duty, I would have sued, but when you are a teenager, you really have no idea of what you are getting into.
I am grateful that I got out of that relationship with my life. But he got away with being a deadbeat, and an abuser, in addition to ruining my & my son's lives.

I am still waiting for karma to give him a slow painful cancer.. .

What a tragedy for that child... she or he did not ask to be born.
Can't believe the law protects this sort of JERK.

Unforgiveness will hurt you, not him. Seriously. Forgive him for your sake.
