Rights of an illegitimate child wrt to maintenance & fathers property


13-Mar-2023 (In Family Law)
I have a daughter with my boyfriend. Ours was not a live-in relationship. He has stopped paying even a single penny on her. I want to know: 1) Is my daughter entitled to her father's property, whether self acquired or ancestral? 2) My boyfriend has recently stopped working. Is my daughter still entitled to have maintenance by her father? 3) Instead of paying monthly, can I receive a lumpsum maintenance amount in order to avoid any contact with my boyfriend?
