Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois
From 2006-2009 I had borrowed my mother and stepfather a total of $16,000. It was agreed upon by all parties involved that I would have my student loans paid off for the amount.
However since 2009 to now they are getting a divorce, my mother still acknowledges the debt but the stepfather doesn't. Now at the time I agreed to loan them money the stepfather was the only one working. In fact for the entire marriage he was the only one working and still is.
I would like to file a lawsuit against my stepfather for the amount of $16,000 PLUS interest I have missed out on, and the taxes I will be charged on the money I use to pay off my student loans.
I have documents and bank statements from my mother showing my withdrawals from my account and going into their joint bank account.

You should have a valid claim. I suggest you coordinate with your mother's divorce attorney.
