My wife deserted me a month back on the grounds that I partition myh family house in Delhi where my mother resides. We have a 3 bedroom room. My father died a few years before I married. He left an unregistered will leaving property on my name with the condition that I will financially support my mother and that my mother will have possession of two bedroom. My wife demanded that I partition the house accordingly and lock up portion of the house that is not under my mother's possession according to my father's will. I am working in chennai. We have just had our baby boy who is now 8 months old. My wife was on maternity leave and had been living with me for close to 6 months. She is a working professional with post-graduate qualification and earning 50-60k a month. I refsued her demand for partitioning the house. I went to delhi to reconcile with her and several occasion. I have been abused by her and her mother to the point that she called me a dog. I have never physically or verbally abused my wife. They have categorically stated that they have no issues with me but claim that my mother has mentally tortured my wife. My mother has not stayed with us for last one year and my wife has effectively not spoken to her in that period. I cannot imagine how she can claim to have been mentally tortured by my mother. I have three sisters who agreed to give me NOC on my father's will after I was forced by my wife to seek those. We have been married a little over 3 years. My wife is now threatening legal action unless I heed her demand on partitioning the house.
1. Can my wife claim a share on her or my son's behalf in my father self-aquired property? She has the photocopy of the will. Will is unregistered and witnesses are untraceable. Is yes, what can I do to prevent that from happening?
2. Would filing a notice of restitution of conjugal rights help in this case? She deserted me on unreasonable grounds.
3. I have been given confidence by my advisors that no police action can be initiated against my mother since she hasn't even lived with us for last one year. Is that well founded?
4. I am still keen on keeping my family together but I am being too optimistic and is this situation beyond repair?
Please advise. Let me know if more information is required.
