How is the property divided if money was invested equally


24-Jun-2023 (In Family Law)
Recently my mum and dad had a dispute, My dad stopped taking care of my mum and sister not providing food money . This is being happening for 3 years, now my mum decided to sell a land which is in her name, so we can use that money for sisters higher education. The property was bought after 2000 by both mum and dad 30% of the land is in my mums name and 70% on dad's . Is there any way to get 50% of the property ? because half of the money she has put to buy the land. If she sells the land will there be a problem ?

Hello,

1. As you said your dad is not taking care of family then your mom can file Maintenance case against your dad where your mom can get monthly maintenance from your dad.
2. Since the land is undivided then your mom have to file partition on the same to sell the 30% of the land.

3. If your mom files MC case then there is a way for amicable settlement.
