This query is : Resolved
Sir,
My parents were divorced when i was 6 years old in 1987 and my father gave Rs. 10000 for me as per court order and no other maintenance. I grew up with my mother and didnt have any contact with my father until last year. He is remarried now and has a son. I am 30 years old now having a very good job abroad and my own house in india. I have achieved all this on my own without any monitary help from anyone. After the chance meeting with my father i found that he is very arrogant and has no remorse or regret about abondaning me. Even though i didnt had any intetion before but now i want to claim my legal rights as his biological son. Hence i want to know what are my rights and what is the proper method to claim them? Thank you in advance for advice and support.....

do not fight with your father. he may bequeath all his property to others. you can claim one share along with other class 1 legal heirs if he dies intestate.

Totally agreed with the experts except Mr. Gupta, you cannot directly claim from his self earned property.

You have no rights from the father's self earned property, till his life time.
If your father is having ancestor property, you have the right to claim.

thank you all for your response.
but i feel frustrated. I do not want material things or property for this person who fathered me. my grievance is with the injustice of abandonment. i told my mother i will not marry until i have earned enough to support my wife and future children. but look at my father - he just left us with no regrets and no remorse and no feeling for someone he brought in this world. i know i will not get any justice and have to counsel myself that our hindu religion will finally materialize the karma and dharma part for him....just to say a world to all couple having children and going thru rough time and try to take divorse - DONT -MAKE THE MARRIAGE WORK......DONT LET THE CHILDREN SUFFER....

Well they say " it takes two to make a quarrel". some times arrangements, even matrimonial fail and sticking to them would be more harmful for either party. Law does not advise people but lays a course out of that arrangement. If you believe in 'Karma' theory then you console yourself that what you went through in your childhood was your 'karmas'. a person who believes ( I do ) does not grieve. Best wishes.

When do not want material things or property from your father, since u r brought up by your mother and well settled for now, where is the grievance? Almighty is kind enough with you, though not your biological father. You have no choice to select your father. If you believe in Hindu Religion and theory of "Karma" forgiving is the best course. If possible shower love on him, after all he is your biological father. That may even change him at this late age. This advice and advice of Harbhajan is not a legal advice. But may be useful to you.
