wife's share in property?

madhusudhan varadarajan (Manager) 27 August 2016

Yrs. Your wife can claim maintenance for her and her son. If she is employed, then court can provide relief, but you have to pay maintenance for your son. With regard to property, your son has right to take share in the property.

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (advocate) 27 August 2016

Your wife and son can claim maintenance only and have no right and share in your self acquired property.

Yes Mr goyal is right.no share can be claimed by your child or wife from your self acquired property. The child can claim only from the ancestral property

Vijay Raj Mahajan (Advocate) 27 August 2016

Your wife can claim her share in your self acquired property only after your death and that too if you die intestate namely without making any Will with regard to your self acquired property, during your lifetime she has no right to claim share in your self acquired property.

Almost familiar case with me. I have bought a flat before my marriage. The flat is in joint name me with my mother. My wife doiesnt staying with me for last 5 yrs. we had a son. My wife is working in a Govt. School and staying in the school hostel alongwith son. Few months back my mother executed an unconditional gift deed gifting her share of the flat in my name and now i became the sole owner of the said flat. I have filed a divorce case against my wife on account of desertion. Now can my wife claim her right on the said flat. Is she eligible for maitenance as she is working in a Govt. school. I am ready to pay maintenace for my son but not for my wife.

*** IMP : Can my wife claim maintenance or claim her rights from my mothers cash, jewelleries...... etc. ?

Mr. Goyal & Mr. Sarvanan...

Can wife / son claim share on properties acquired by husband through Gift Deed ?

Can wife/ son claim share on properties acquired by husband by inheriting property as a legal heir?

Augustine Chatterjee,New Delhi (Advocate & Solicitor at Law) 27 August 2016

The wife or the son cannot claim any share in the properties acquired by the husband through a gift deed or those which are sekf acquired.

As far as inherited property is concerned, the son can claim a right only if it is established that the said property is ancestral. If it is not ancestral, then the son has no share.

Mr das your wife can't claim any share in whatever you had mentioned. Since she is working in a government school she is not eligible for maintenance if you can prove that before the court but you need to pay maintenance to the child
