Father 63 ( employed ) left uneducated mother who has been housewife


26-Nov-2023 (In Civil Law)
My father ( 63 ) left my mom ( 56 ) ( uneducated , was housewife ) post retirement with all of his assets. He gives my mom very bare minimum while he has asset of around 50 Lacs invested in bonds and deposits. Can my mom claim any alimony ? My father has told that she is only entitled legally for about 25% of his salary i.e pension which is around 8000 Inr per month. All his other asset she doesn't have any claim on.

no, your mother has the right to claim alimony once you file a divorce petition.
you have the following options-
proceeding under Hindu Marriage Act by way of a divorce petition where you will also ask for maintenance for her as an interim protection.
proceeding under Section 125 crpc for maintenance where a monthly amount will be fixed.

please call/meet for further advice.

I have perused the contents of your query and would advise you to file a maintenance petition seeking monthly maintenance. Do also file a complaint under section 12 of the domestic violence act thereby seeking maintenance and lumpsum compensation.

You file for the maintenance and domestic violence cases for depriving your mom from the economic support and for mental agony etc..
you have to seek the maintenance from the court and ad far as other moveable immovable properties are concerned that you have to disclose to ascertain het real positions.
