Maintenance/justice for innocent house wife

1) What action can be taken from a legal perspective to get atleast 50% stake in his salary every month deposited directly to my mother’s account?

Answer:-  If you have not attained majority and still a minor, he ie your father is liable to look after you and provide maintenance to you unless until your parents are not divorced and have not agreed on lumpsum settlement, you can file 125 CRPC and claim maintenance.  But it appears that you are not minor, so you cannot get maintenance from your father, however in absence of lumpsum settlement if divorced or not yet divorced, your mother can claim maintenance under section 125 crpc for herself, but not 50%, but in proportion to income and expenditure of respective heads.

Filing such cases may also backfire, he is a drunk and gambler a la Bond, file cases on him and he will drink more, gamble some more.  Its very difficult to mellow such seasoned artist.

2)      2)Is there anything that we can do to protect and prevent those 15 lakh rupees landing in his hands and ending up going into drainage? If we can get hold of 15 lakh rupees then I can save it for the mother, brother & father’s medical expenses as they grow older.

Answer:-  Prevent him from drawing that amount from bank, prevent him from going to the bank, hide ATM card, hide cheque books.  Let him create a scene, but when he wants to withdraw some money, make sure one of you accompany him to bank and get the money in your hands.

3)      3)On similar lines, what legal provisions are there to get the monthly pension amount land directly in mother’s account instead of the entire amount going into his hands and he spending it extravagantly.

Answer:-  Its his legal right to get his pension. 

Please advise your thoughts.

You need to make him understand that his Bond days are over, Sean Connery retired and is now leading a sober life.  Quitting drinking is not a tough job.  But quitting gambling is really a tough job.  Anyway its all up there, how he takes it.  Laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahi maante.  Some people learn only the hard way, and your father is just like that.  A line had to be drawn long time back, and not now.  If he understands the gravity of the situation, he will change himself automatically, but if he don’t, nobody can do anything, not you; not the Law.  If your pocket permits you, its better to take over the responsibility of your family than to expect your father to change for the good. Its lot more easier and less complicated that way.  Hope that your father learns fast, before he ends up in a lot of problems and take the entire family down the drain.

Thanks a lot for your time and valuable advice Mr. Helping Hand.Appreciate your help.

once the amount is credited in the fathers bank account you can make a fixed deposit on your mother name but here your father approval is needed but you cannot take the amount from the office directly on your mother name
