Can a mother claims maintenance from son
06-May-2023 (In Family Law)
Sir, I am a government employee, my mother has submitted an application at my office for providing maintenance to her, while on the other hand, my father is still living and is a government employee too and my mother is dependent to him. Do I have to provide maintenance to her?
As you said your father is a government employee so she can not claim maintenance from you, she can claim it from your father only
Your mother can claim maintenance from you after your father, so right now she can't

I advice you that under Section 20 of HAMA, 1956, a mother if she is not able to maintain herself, can very well seek maintenance from her children. Though a childless step-mother can claim maintenance from her step-sons provided she is a widow of her husband, and if living, is also incapable of supporting and maintaining her. for further clarification

No. As long as your father is capable of providing for his dependents. You have no obligations. After your father, you may have to provide for your mother only if she has no other source of income sufficient to provide for her.
