1. You are entitled to file a case of maintenance under section 125 CrpC against him. He is obligated to pay you the amount which would cover your basic necessities and enable you to live the same standard of life which you were enjoying just prior to moving out of your matrimonial home. Similarly, he is bound to provide your daughter basic necessities of life and her educational expenses.

2. Under the present law you cannot claim the property of your husband but you can certainly file a DV case to enforce your right to reside in his house.

3. You can remarry only after you obtain a decree of divorce.

4. Your daughter will be entitled to get maintenance even after your remarriage.

1) Can my daughter claim for the property if the property is ancestral and now in the name of Father in law.

The property standing in the name of your father in law cannot be ancestral in nature or character, hence your daughter may not have a legitimate right in it.

Even if she plans to claim a share in it, she can claim a share out of her father's share in the property, which I am afraid, is not there.

You have rights for residence which can be claimed from your husband during the subsistence of your marriage with him.

Is there any specific time to stay in that house. I mean can i stay there till my remarriage.

You can stay there till the time you are his legally wedded wife.

1. If the property is ancestral in the hands of your daughter then she can certainly file a suit for partition to cull out her share therein.

2. During the subsistence of your marriage you have the right to reside in the matrimonial home at all times.

1. If the property stands in the name of your father in law now, it is not called an ancestral property anymore. Your daughter cannot claim any share of her grandfather's properties during his and your husband's lifetime. After the demise of your father in law, intestate, your husband will inherit his share of his father's property and after the demise of your husband, intestate, your daughter will inherit her share of her father;s property even after your getting the decree of divorce.

2. You can claim your right for alternate accommodation and can stay therein till you are remarried.to another person.
