under section 125 or the Cr.P.C. you can file a case before family court of your district through your counsel by you and your brother against your father.

As you present the case alongwith an application under section 125(3) of the act, withing 3 months most probably you will get an order for interim relief as a bread and butter figured amount from your father, as per law.

Further the case will decided after complete trial then a final amount will be ordered from court for your maintenance until you both get able to earn yourself.

1. You may lodge a police complaint against him to the nearest police station for threatening to kill you and your brother.

2. You may also file a complaint under DV Act in court to seek protection from physical and verbal abuse and also to claim maintenance from him. Once court orders him to cease threatening you he will be under an obligation to honour the court orders.

3. Your mother, if she is alive, may file for divorce against your father after collecting proof of his infidelity.
