Let's assume he is rich, you humiliate him and you get a bunch of money. (Oh, and it may take a year or two, depending on your court system, to finalize the trial. Add on a couple of more years for the appeals.) Or do you want to get him out of your life and become a somewhat normal human being?

If you don't want to do that, then contact a local attorney and see if he or she would be willing to take the case on. It could be expensive, even on a contingency basis.
