You can tender Bank statements, income sources and proof of your father and mother in court to prove that your parents have earning capacity and can maintain themselves.

Also provide details of your other siblings if any so that burden of maintenance can also be distributed if court allow their petition

Does your mother have any source of income ?

 

2) if your mother is not working and she has no source of income then she is entitled to maintenance

If your parents are unable  to maintain themselves then only  payment of maintenance is required u/s 125. Tell the truth in court.

The parents can file maintenance against their son if they are not earning and cannot maintain themselves. In yout case you should file their earnings and property which they own. That would suffice.

 You will have to prove that your mother has her own  sources of income to maintain herself. This  is the only defence which you can take to repel  her claim to  maintenance

parents has a right to claim a maintenance from their son only if he is employed, in your case she has already getting pension Or income, so chances are very less to get something additional, but she can claim.

Hi

According to the said provision the parents are entitled for maintenance.

Going  by contents of your post, you need to prove that they are financially sound and they do not need any support from you.

In order to prove the same, file substantial proofs pertaining to their income, source of income & their obligations.

The same if proved by you, the court will consider and negate their claim.

Good Luck.

Dear Sir,

Conditions for Granting Maintenance:

 Person from whom maintenance is claimed must have the ability to pay maintenance. Ability means being employed, owning land, having a source of income or having a healthy body capable of work.

  1. The person must have neglected the claimant or refused to pay maintenance.
  2. Persons claiming maintenance must be unable to maintain themselves. If a person is healthy, adequately educated or capable of pursuing gainful employment no maintenance is given. Wives and elderly parents are generally given maintenance. The mere fact that the wife is earning does not disentitle her from claiming maintenance. The question is whether she is able to maintain the same standard of living that subsisted prior to the neglect or divorce with her own earnings without having to depend on another.

WHAT SHOULD BE THE POINTS OF DETERMINATION, THE COURT SHOULD CONSIDER WHILE DECIDING THE MAINTENANCE AMOUNT?

In Raj Bari Behera v. Mangaraj Behera, the maintenance has to determine in the light of the standard of living of the person concerned, the earnings of the husband and his other financial commitments.

Financial commitments like EMI's should also be taken into consideration while deciding maintenance amount (Bhushan Kumar Meen vs Mansi Meen @ Harpreet Kaur on 28 April 2009, Supreme Court of India)
