I was wondering if an 18 year old could sue his parents divorce lawyer? Or sue the judge who subjugated the children (of the divorcing parents) to a life that would put them at a disadvantage, in harms way or hinder them to life opportunities that could be avoided by deciding other wise.
I am 18 years old and the court system has unjustly favored my abusive father over my mother who has always been there for me (which some how could end up with HIM GETTNG CUSTIDY over my sisters and I - and he is abusive somewhere there is corruption going on). For this I consider what the court has subjected me to unfair. Because this divorce between my parents has effected my life more then theirs in this manor I want to know if (or how) I could sue the authorities who judged this as just.
A lawyer should have an obligation to justice not the father of an abusive child. I don't know how his lawyer can sleep at night knowing the horrible things she has done and I would like to pursue legal action against her, the judge or who ever else is responsible for this. Please help, thank you!

You can try. But it will get thrown out.
More importantly, do you have $250 an hour to pay a lawyer to pursue the lawsuit? Lawyers did not go to 4 years of college and 3 years of law school to work for free.
Expect to stroke a $5000 check right off the bat for the retainer. Once that's used up, you'll have to continue to pay the bill at $250 an hour. Most 18 year olds don't have that kind of money.
Additionally, if you're 18 - you are a legal adult. Parents don't get "custody" of you.
No
BTW - At 18 you are emancipated.
His lawyer represents his interests only. If there had been an allegation of abuse made by your mother the court would have been obligated to appoint a lawyer to represent you and your siblings. Ask mom why she did not allege abuse.
There are some legal groups that will take a case pro bono that is a failed result from slick lawyers. Any lies his attorney made is actionable at least as perjury. Or abuse of power. Or dereliction of duty. It is well known that lies can win cases in court.
Or maybe your mothers attorney failed to provide the expected standard of care or failed to represent her adequately.
Any abuse by your father is subject to police protection for you and your sister. Call 911 at any time you fear for your safety. Then you can get restraining orders and damages, etc. Especially if he gets physical with you or your sister.
whilst i can work out some anger being directed in direction of the ex, i visit propose which you seem on the line the place you wrote: "...the mummy sues us for 12,000..." If she wins that lawsuit, you will pay. in case you mount a lively protection, you a minimum of placed up a combat. - Stuart
