Self and child maintenance

Neither you nor your husband/childern are dependant  of your father-in-law.

It is the sole responsibility of your husband (or his estate) to care and maintain yourself and the children. If he is unable then the responsibility (if you can shoulder) lies with yourself.

Donot adventure for litigation.

Dear Author,

When your father in law hidden rue facts from your parents and you about illness of your husband and cheated , soon after you came to know about this things you was in right to file cheating and fraud case as well as suit for divorce but now its already ten years and you have wonderful family and children then dont go for it as it is delayed matter.

However your husband being legal heir can ask for his share in the property if your father in laws has inherited that property from great father in law, in nutshell if the property is ancestral property than your husband can ask for his share.Feel free to call if you have any query left in your mind.

Legally and literally you donot have any claim against your father in law.  If at all you had a chance of filing criminal complaint for cheating against your father in law for having done the marriage suppressing the fact of his mental illness, it should have been immediately on discovery of the fact by you and not at this belated stage.  No such complaint or case is maintainable now.  If the property in possession by your father in law is ancestral in nature, your husband  is entitled to a share out of his father's property,but for filing a partition suit, your husband has to be mentally sound or else you have to apply for guardianship through court of law as a guardian for your husband and  can sue on his behalf.  Just because your father in law is economically sound, you cannot claim anything for your maintenance from him.  Consult a local lawyer for further clarifications.
