Why have you and your mother not taken any action so far. Anyway, your mother can file case under Sec.125 Cr.PC for maintenance for self and you. Besides, she can also file case under DV Act for compensation ,maintenance, right to stay in matrimonial home or alternate residence and rent etc. You must engage a local lawyer for legal help.and feel free to call.
