Hi, you can reply to the legal notice through the advocate and also it is the duty of the husband to maintain his wife and children so your mother can file a petition under section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code for maintenance.

Hi,
Your mother can file a suit for domestic violence along with Maintenance. You have not mentioned the matter of notice, is it from some lawyer? Contact a local lawyer.
1) your mother can file complaint under Dv act against her husband and seek protection order
2) she can also seek maintenance from her husband , right to stay in matrimonial home , compensation for mental torture undergone by her
Hello,
1) Your mother can certainly file a case under provisions of Protection of Women against Domestic Violence Act 2005 and seek maintenance from father, protection against torture/atrocities and house either shared or independent.
2) If you are an adult your father is not liable to maintain you, however your mother has all rights to protection and maintenance.
3) You need to send a reply through a lawyer if the notice was a legal notice explaining how the money was spent.
4) Unfortunately you can not make direct claim on the money he received, except that your mother needs to approach the court through a DV case to compel him to pay.
What exactly is written in the legal notice? Your mother can definitely claim maintenance from him and also file Domestic Violence case against him.

Legally how do I revert to the notice, and can my mother put a maintenance case on him. Please help and also let us the know the cost for it.
Your mother can file a maintenance case against him seeking maintenance amount to sustain her live and basic necessities of life including residence and clothing etc.
What type of notice or what are the contents of notice? you could have given brief details of the notice to give a proper opinion to your question.
However you can give reply yourself to the notice received.

1) contact a lawyer and reply to legal notice
2) deny allegations made in notice and place on record torture undergone by your mother
3) legal fees vary
4) accept money given by father
Why should your father ask your mother about the details of money he received from his terminal benefits?
Your mother should give a reply to his notice denying all his allegations and should in turn ask rather demand from him the money for her maintenance and expenses for her medical treatment etc.
If he is giving the amount. let she accept it and demand more.
1. Your mother is at liberty to file a case for maintenance against him to get the required amount of financial assistance. The cost will be the fee of your lawyer and nothing more.
2. Reply to the notice through your lawyer. You can deny the allegations which are false. It is for you to take a call on the amount he has offered to you.
You will have to approch an advocate to-answer the legal notice sent by your father. Though the legal notice gives you ten days to reply but it is okay if its delayed. Deny all the allegations levelled against your mother.
If he is agreeing to give 2 lacs atleast take that and then allege to be not adequate for you all.
Meanwhile file for maintenance in the family court.
