Sir if your age is above 60 years of age you can claim maintenance from your son under the Senior Citizen Welfare and maintenance act from the son in case age is not above 60 then an maintenance application under crpc 125 can be filed with the magistrate sowing that you are not capable of earning.

Hello,
The law provides that if the parents are unable to maintain themselves then an application should be filed before the court and the court would make suitable provisions for the same. But your son can be compelled to provide only for you and your wife.

Court considers your income while determining maintenance amount payable by you
2) you can seek maintenance from your son under section 125 cr pc if you are unable to maintain yourself
3) your son is not bound to maintain your second wife and children born out of said marriage
1. You are earning and has been directed to pay maintenance of rs. 4,000/- to your divorced ex-wife.
2. Your present wife can not claim any amount from her step son for her maintenance which shall have to be taken care by you.
3. So, you can not ask money from your son for maintaining your present family and also for supporting your payment of maintenance to your ex-wife.
Dear Client,
Parents can claim maintenance from children u/s 125 Code of Criminal Procedure. Not of step mother.
Can file application in court.
1. You can claim maintenance from your son under 125 CrPC. Maintenance is a personal right, so you can seek maintenance only for yourself and for none else.
2. Your second wife cannot claim maintenance from your son born out of your first marriage.
Since you are earning you cannot claim maintenance from your son.
Neither he is bound to maintain his step mother and step siblings.
If his own mother seeks maintenance let she do it by herself.
If your ex wife is seeking enhancement in maintenance amount you may fight it on merits.
