Clarification regarding maintenance of senior citizen
3 years ago
My father is 65 and I am 26. I am planning to separate from my father legally after my mother's death. But he is threatening to sue me with the maintenance law. I am ready to give in writing that I do not want any of his property. He already has a bank balance of more than a 1 crore rs and a house and some land to his name. I haven't caused him any debts or additional monetary obligations. Still he wants me to be his slave and look after his every need, failing which he will abuse me. Will I be forced to continue this relationship? Can he use the maintenance law to sue me? Please help.

If my answer is helpful to you then please give me five star
It is specifically described that " If any person having sufficient means neglects or refuses to maintain (d) his father or mother, unable to maintain himself or herself "
So, Your father filed case against you, but you have valid proof that your father not dependent upon you and he has lots of source of income, then the case rejected which is filed by your father.
So, don't tense and not to Written No Objection of your fathers property, because this is your legal right.
Thanking you
