Wife has no share in your mother property
2) court will not award her Rs 5000!maintenance if yiur income is only Rs 7000 per month
3) object to custody of don being awarded to your wife as she deserted the child when he needed her most
She cannot claim maintenance from you after 15 years of passing of ex parte decree of divorce against you. You should contest her case fittingly in the court. The legal remedy of moving the High Court for the quashing of her case is also available to you.
Exparte divorce decree has nothing to do with the claim for maintenance case filed by her that too at this belated stage.
She can very well claim maintenance case for herself and the children under section 125 cr.p.c.
She can claim maintenance or herself and the ior child however she has no right in your mother's property.
This is not maintainable.
wife would not be awarded Rs 5000 when your income is only Rs 7000
wife has no share in your parents property
Now She has filed for maintenance of Rs.5000/- per month from me, prayed to take her care by son
and a portion from my parents property.
How can I defend?
She cannot claim a share in your parents' property neither for herself nor on behalf of the son.
She may claim maintenance for herself and the minor child provided she is not employed or not remarried.
Let she file the case, you can challenge the same and defend your position.
She has prayed to take care by her son and my son is with me since 20 years and maintained by me.He is now preparing for competitive exams.What will be the judgement for this claim? Now my son is unemployed and can she claim for maintenance after employment of my son?

1) if son is staying with you and his expenses are met by you then you don't have to pay for his maintenance
2) you have to maintain your wife even if son is employed . It is your responsibility to maintain your wife
If your son is major by age then there is no question of maintenance for him..
If she is claiming maintenance from your son, then she has to prove that you are not capable to maintain her and your son is employed drawing handsome salary hence obliged to take care of her.
If she fails to satisfy the court on the above point her maintenance claim shall stand dismissed.
