My Mother died 9 years ago and after 4 years of my mother died, My father re-married with another lady who was unmarried. For first 8-10 Months her behavior was good but then after she started shouting on my father on small small reasons also my father married her stating that she has to take care of his daughter (My sister) but she was not talking with her many times.
She was behaving badly with my dad and after every word fight she use to go at her real home. She left our home almost 5 times in 4 years and every time myself and my father tried to conveience her to come back to home but last year she went away again after having word fight with my father for small reasons.
My father had heart attack and due to that he had to gone through Bypass heart surgery and then due to diabities he lost his vision as well and since last 2.5 years he is not able to see and has at rest in home.
My step mother left my father in that health issue around 1 year ago and never came back, now suddenly around 3 weeks ago her brother came to our house and kept my stepmother in our house, now both the parties are not interested to live together by heart.
My Stepmother is asking for 10 Lakhs for divorce. So I have few questions:
- Can she take a legal actions against my father? IF yes then if he is blind then can he get some benefit?
- My father has transferred propertly on my name and mentioned as a GIFT Deed in the property. So is she entitled to claim in the property which is on my name but gifted by my dad?
- Is she authorized to claim maintenance from me as being a stepmother?
We are ready to give her either monthly maintenance or fix amount so that she can live happily and have a good life. But they are asking for 10 lakhs which I cant pay.
Please advice what to do in this case.
