Maintenance of a married wife can also be met from the properties of which the husband is a co-sharer and not otherwise. For invoking the said provision, the husband must have a share in the property. The property in the name of the father-in-law or mother-in-law or others can neither be a subject matter of stay or attachment nor during the life time of the husband, his personal liability to maintain his wife can be directed to be enforced against such property.

An order of maintenance might have been passed but in view of the
settled legal position, the decree, if any, must be executed against her husband
and only his properties could be attached thereof but not of her father-in-law.

 Please consult a family court lawyer and take steps to file a caveat to get notice when she file the attachment petition.  The you will get opportunity to submit your arguments.

 What does belong to the husband, can't be attached. In anticipation of inheritance no attachment order can be passed. Father must have made a Will and disinherited the son. I think we are in the real of preponderance of possibility.

mr suresh, she does'nt claim any property which not belong to her husband legaly so if any property have belong to him tan he can attach it only.

 The taste of pudding is in eating. What she will do in future has to be watched. Her claim or disclaim today has no meaning. Many things that seem unlikely in the present happen in the future.

Mr.Krishna guide you properly.

So legally she dont have any right till today, but first she has to file maintenance only then property could be attached but upto the share of her husband.
