Dear Experts, Need your advise on below two queries:

1. After a mutual consent divorce and paying alimony to wife for her past, present and future maintenance and also a Fixed Deposit for child, can child claim right in Father self acquired property or their grand parents property after attaining majority (18 years) under the provisions of law?

2. Can divorced wife file claim on behalf of child in ex-husband self acquired property and ex-husband parents property under the provisions of law?

Dear Gaurav
she can claim the property which is ancestral property of her father & not self acquired property.
the wife can file a partition suit on behalf of the girl/minor for her share in ancestral property.
