"A lot of money" may mean different things to different people. The "small claims limit" is $10,000, and self-help forms are available on line. The evidence of practice and procedure (that is, what you were doing and how you did it) is in your favor -- and the probable absence of any written agreement or documentation of the loans is a problem. Is there any documentation on the transfers indicating their purpose was a loan rather than a gift? This sort of case is usually best settled, but if you can't get any cooperaiton, you might have to file suit, in small claims, or a regular civil action. This sort of case does not really fall within the usual "family court" ambit.
