This query is : Resolved
1) I am 29 years old unemployed. My mother has been abandoned by my father(retired Central Govt employee) since 2012 when he shifted to the 1st floor of the same house in which both of us live. The house is his own. We are living in the ground floor
2) He has not been paying any compensation to my mother since 2012 and on several occasions "dared to do our worst" when my mother demanded he pay her compensation.
3) He earns a pension of around Rs.35000. Hence how much maintenance can the court grant us?
4) Though I am currently unemployed, I am looking after my mother with my savings from previous employment. Will my capacity to look after my mother, absolve my father of paying compensation to my mother?
5) Since she has also previously faced acute sufferings at his hands, can she file "Domestic Harassment" case against him.

She can file a maintenance case as well as DV case against your father. The duty to maintain her by you shall come into force when your father is not having sufficient income to maintain her.
