Under hindu succession Act you can get the share in his ancestral property only after his death if he dies intestate. You can claim maintenance under domestic violence Act and 125 crpc from him

  1. You are entitled only on your husband's undivided share. You aren't a coparcener to the ancestral property. 
  2. Other than that, you can also claim alimony from your husband in a matrimonial petition, and maintenance for your daughter. 
  3. I'm prepared and willing to file the appropriate matrimonial petition as your counsel. (Advocate). But first I require an exhaustive consultation session with you. So you need to visit me.

As per Indian law a wife does enjoy any right other than residency in the property of husband either ancestral or self acquired, during his life time.

I am to  inform you the exact law as it stands on the subject matter irrespective of that fact in whose favour it is. It is no matter how badly you rate me. 

Wife inherits the property of husband after husband dies instestate as per Hindu succession act

So far ancestral property is concerned Hindu female enjoy equal right to her parental property.

Do not keep yourself under misconception.

You can claim maintenance or residency right from your husband in case of divorce or judicial separation but not just living separately at your will. 

People rate me sometime poor if the law position does not come in their favour. I think it is quite natural.

1. Wife has no share in the property of husband. She has only right of residence in the property owned by husband.

2. The male legal heir upto 3 degree has right of share in ancestral property of husband. 

3. If this agricultural land belonging to your husband is his self acquired property then your son has no share in it.

If the property is ancestral you will not have right on his property but you can file a suit through your child seeking share for the child and representing the minor. Also you can file a maintenance petition under Sec 125 CrPC claiming maintenance for yourself and your child...

If property is acquired by great grand father and inherited intestate than your daughter have share in it, not yours.

You can claim alimony for you and your daughter and separate accommodation on rent through court.

Hi

You and your minor child are entitled for maintenance from your husband.

Concept of Alimony comes in to picture only if you go for divorce.

You need to justify the reasons for not staying with your Husband. If he files for divorce it will be difficult.

Yes you are entitled to share in your husband's share which he acquires. 

If your are unemployed you can get maintenance and quantum depends on his income and liabilities.

Alimony is based on economic conditions of the wife and not on cases/counter cases filed by the husband and the wife. 

the husband can avoid alimony if he can demonstrate to the court that 

a) wife had walked out of relationship and 

b) wife is working and has land and building properties that she has earned/inherited.

Neither you nor your child can get any share in his property not at least during his lifetime even though you live separately but remain married to him as his legally wedded wife.

You can file a maintenance application seeking maintenance for you (if you are not employed) and for your child along with the divorce case filed by him.

Besides you can file a separate maintenance case under section 125 cr.p.c.  for you both.

If he files for divorce, and that, if you are interested, go for settlement i.e., the case filed by him will be converted to Mutual Consent Divorce and you can get permanent alimony (ASAP) i.e., one time settlement to you.

Need to take call on daughter's issue, the same has to be finalized among your selves.
