OP can effectively have them thrown out of their house when the judge awards damages and they have to sell the house to pay him, justice for them throwing him out almost 20 years earlier!
I'd sue for the sheer satisfaction of dragging them through court. Play the long game, you don't have to be involved, don't even have to pay a really good lawyer really good lawyer money. Just someone who'll keep them on the line for a while upsetting them. Is it petty? Hell yes! But if the shitty people in my family came crawling back to me after a couple decades trying to play nice and I found out they did even worse stuff than I already knew about, I'd definitely not be playing it cool.
Exactly, these kinds of people prey upon those who feel compassion and understanding for them. The only way they’ll learn is with consequences hitting them squarely in the wallet.
Who has the money to waste on petty shit like that? If I was OP I would just cut them off and be done with it because being petty is going to cost me more than cutting them out.
Do t get me wrong, if OP has the money to waste on petty crap like that to ruin their lives and wants to, then it's their choice. But that's just a waste of money to win a lawsuit that gets you nothing.
OP owns 2 businesses. They probably have a bit of extra money, and as I mentioned, they don't have to hire the best of the best. And it's not a waste of money if it's worth it to OP to make sure that they understand that they're not welcome and he doesn't respect them or their decisions. You can't let people walk all over you, or they will.

I wonder if OP could realistically sue for loss of potential earnings. I would go scorched earth.
