S. 125 crpc as well as DV Act both contains the provision for maintainance of daughter. DV should be resorted to only if there are incidences of domestic violence. For mere neglect to maintain by father, go under S.125 crpc.

Yes it can be claimed and got. State full facts.

Adv Ms. Archana rightly advised. Without any violent incidents at home, the claim will be infructuous/nullified, hence, as a better option, it is advisable that Sec 125 of cr.P.C would be a right choice.

yes under cr.p.c 125.
as rightly pointed by LCI members above, no need to invoke D.V.act unless warranted and evidenced.
