Family Property after divorce
3 years ago
My mother and father seprated 10 years ago. The case was settled unilaterally because my father was not having any objection. In documents there is no mention of me. My father doesn't live in our village (home) and even after divorce my mother and me both living in a paternal house. The home is made on land of my father but neither we nor my father has the documents of home. Now my father and his family want to vacate this home and they are filling a case against both of us. Actually this house was also made by my mother because my father never lived here. Now he has taken surprise entry and with my uncles and aunts he is trying to evict us from here. Is there any remedy for me? As I am as much a child of my father also as much I am of my mother.

A married woman has to be provided with shelter and maintenance by husband after the divorce. If she is a member of a joint family then she will be entitled to equal share of the husband, jointly with his mother and her children(after his death).

After divorce, Wife's share in property would be 50% in all her husband’s residential properties, no matter what and in other properties, her share will be decided as per the court decision.”

In contested divorce it can not happen. in mutual, it is foolish not to mention property and child.
Since you are living there for 10 years and enjoying possession then keep it like that.
let your father challenge your possession.
There are ways to handle it but that needs lawyer.
Hope this clarifies,
