My daughter in law continues to forcefully reside with me against my consent and wishes although my only son has separated from her since January 2011 and has filed for a one-sided divorce against her in June 2011. Even though I have constantly pleaded with her to leave, she refuses to accept or acknowledge the fact that my home is not her marital home and continues to impose on me forcibly. We are currently living in a rented accommodation provided by our builder, as our building (where my late husband and I are joint owners of our flat) is undergoing re-development. My son has no right, title or claims on our flat, hence my daughter-in-law is not entitled to and cannot rightfully live with us in our home. Also we have no grandchildren. I am a widow. I currently do not have any source of income and am surviving on my late husband's savings and pension. My daughter-in-law is employed and working in a BPO. However, she has never financially supported us or contributed in any manner towards household expenses and bills. Considering my financial situation, I cannot continue to keep her in my home and look after her. Also, even though I have requested her parents on multiple occasions to take their daughter home, they have flatly refused to do so and insist that since she has married our son, she is no longer their responsibility and that it is my duty and obligation to look after her even though my son has left the house, separated from her, and filed for divorce against her.
My daughter-in-law has threatened me that she will drag me to the police and put me in jail if I continue to ask her to vacate my home. When I make any attempt to request her to vacate our home, she becomes arrogant and starts arguing and back-answering me.Although she lives in my home, she does not inform me about her whereabouts when she goes out., which adds to my stress. We are currently not on talking terms and she refuses to have any form of interaction with me.
After marriage in August 2008, although my son wanted to live in a separate accommodation, my daughter-in-law insisted on staying with us because she did not want to take on any household responsibilities. When my son had informed her of his decision to divorce her in December 2010, she refused to leave the house because she did not want to give up the comfort, luxury and security that she was living in. As a result, my only son was compelled to leave the house in January 2011 and has been living on his own separately from us. My son made many attempts to convince her to agree to a mutual divorce, but she completely refused. As a result, my son finally filed for a one-sided divorce in June 2011 and the case is currently ongoing with the family court in Bandra.
Although my son has separated from her,my daughter-in-law refuses to divorce him because she does not want to give up the security and comfort that living in my home offers her. She has not made any effort to resolve the divorce amicably. On the contrary she has made several unreasonable demands for money and property from us and our son.I have tried in vain to inform her that her divorce case with my son should be dealt with on her own and that I should not be dragged into this matter or punished for their decisions. Please provide me with legal advice on how to compel my daughter-in-law to vacate my home.
