Drunken and irresponsible husbabd


05-Nov-2023 (In Divorce Law)
This question is on behalf of my sister who is suffering with 2 kids aged 10 and 2 years from past 11 years. After marriage we came to know that her husband is fully addicted to alcohol and cigarettes and no responsibility towards family. She bared all these despite physical abuses. Now she can't bare and wanted to seperate. As her in laws are financially strong can she get maintenance for upbringing the kids.

Hi
Yes. Your sister can claim maintenance under section 125 cr.p.c for both self and kids.
Your sister can in addition to maintenance can also claim compensation for cruelty under section 12 domestic violence act .
Children can also claim a share of property from their Grand parents if father is neglecting to take care of welfare and wellbeing of children
