Madam,

you don't have right over the property of your husband you are entitled to only maintenance and your son has right over the property of your husband provided it is ancestral property. you and your son entitled to seek maintenance from your husband.

As per the existing law in India you have no right over the movable or immovable property of either your husband or father-in-law. The only right which you and your son enjoy is the right to claim maintenance from your husband. In addition to claiming maintenance from his father your son can also claim a share in the ancestral property, if any, of your husband.
