It depends of the evidence that you have that it was a loan, as opposed to his story which will be that it was a gift, seek counsel.

Yes, if you both agreed that he would pay you back Never lend money to a relative because you never get paid back.

Yes, you can sue your son for money lent to him, that he refuses to pay back. Was there a written agreeement? When did he miss his first payment? You will want to act timely as failure to enforce your rights can result in a waiver of the rights.!
