Dear Client,
You mother can file a criminal case against her husband for her maintainance as per section 125 of CrPC because it is the duty of the husband to maintain his wife and children and old parents.

Your mother has lot of remedy available under law. In govt. service , at the time of retirement all the papers have name of retired person and his wife . If your father is not looking after your mother on not giving money for her maintenance, make a representation before the concerned authority.
