Hi, As per law wife has no right to claim share in the property acquired by yourself or your father. Therefore she has no right to claim share in the property.

2. She can claim maintenance but in your case she is also working so she can't claim maintenance from you also.

A. She cannot claim any rights in your self acquired properties or yor inherited properties during your lifetime.

B. You either ask a question in English or Hindi, dont mix both the languages and confuse the lawyers to give you a wrong or misleading reply.

Well, she has no rights in your property itself, so she cannot acquire any special rights in your parents'; properties.

C To retain or sell your property is absolutely your decision, you need not worry about it. She cannot interfere in it. She cannot claim any right in your property nor a share in it.

Your wife has no legal rights on your self acquired properties and your parents properties. Maintenance is not merely a legal right. It is part and parcel of basic human right. So she can claim only maintenance from you. Contest the DV cases which filed by your wife on merits and adduce evidence infavour of you. But a wife who is well qualified and is capable to earn cannot sit idle and claim maintenance from her husband. This is a family dispute so try to settle the matter with help of close peoples in the family and safe guard your child future.Children are fragile, handle them with care. If divorce is inevitable, bitter battles cannot be the option to settle issues of child custody and access.

She has a right to residence being a legally married wife, but that right can be established in her matrimonial house only i.e., the place where her husband is residing can be termed as matrimonial home. If you are staying in your mother's home then that can be her matrimonial home, if you stay away from your mother and your mother alone staying in that house, she can very well restrict your wife's entry to that house and can even obtain an order of injunction agaisnt her restricting her entry.

Your wife has no right over your moms property. But it is the duty of husband to maintain his wife and children. She can also claim accommodation in shared house or alternative accommodation.The claim for alternative accommodation can only be made against the husband and not against the husband’s in-laws or other relatives.

She has the right to residence in the property of your mom if that house is her matrimonial house. If you submit a complaint in her office you will be liable to be prosecuted for defamation.
