Hi, you have to file a suit for partition of your share in the property.

2. Your mother has to file petition under section 125 of the Criminal Procedure code for maintenance, as it is the duty of the Husband to maintain his wife and children, so court will order for monthly maintenance to your mother.

Which case do you wish to file in the court? You have no share in the property, movable or immovable, during his lifetime. If he dies intestate you along with your mother will succeed to his properties. His second marriage is illegal as he married during the subsistence of his first marriage. So your mother can file a criminal case for bigamy against him. Your career remains unaffected by his second marriage.

Your mother has to file a restitution of conjugal rights case against your father now.

You being a major by age, cannot claim anything from your father now.

You cannot ask your father to accept you even through court of law but it does not means that you are not the son of your father, this relationship cannot be eradicated even by law or any court.

If your mother files the case, it may take a few years to get disposed.

The cost factor to be enquired locally withe advocate whom you plan to engage.

Your abroad job will not get affected even if you sue your father on your own.
