desertion, divorce and mainatainance

3 years ago

Hi,
This is Sekhar. I am writing this on behalf of my mom.

My father is working as a Senior accountant in Government of Odisha. It has been 35 years they have been married. My sister is recently married.
My Father began saying that he left my mother and he will not give a single pie from this month.
When I asked him to give me in written he wrote that he is abandoning my mom and he gave silly reasons.
1. Me and my wife never slept in bed room since last 22 years.
My mom never goes to his room to sleep as he drinks at home, watches porn in the room and we saw it many times even.
He is saying this since 30 years from my child birth. My mom used to teach students and sell milk from cows.
He is torturing my mom since 30 years. Today when I asked my father, he handed me in writing signed on 2 rupees stamps attached to that paper and asked my mom to file a divorce and even saying that due to the point 1 you will even not get any maintenance and divorce. He has a local Political influence.

He even went to jail due to some cases in his office and got reinstated. My mom, I and my sister did part time and maintained house and gave money to him for filing cases and he won. He does not give money to home but he comes and sits in home for food and my mom never harassed him. He beat my mom many times. She has been facing a lot of mental and physical torture.

Now he is saying to file a case for divorce to my mom but we don’t know how to proceed. My mom is unaware and uneducated. She is crying a lot and lot. I want my mom to file divorce. But I don’t know how to proceed.
He is abusing and scolding my mom Tarnishing her image near all relatives and office colleagues so that he can win the case. He told me this thing in open.
Should I take my mom to Women’s cell or File a case. How should I approach.
As he is a government servant the procedure to file a case against him would be quite different.
I am a software employee. I can take care of my mom but I want that my mom should not feel that I am showing sympathy on her as my Father is still alive and even working I feel that He should pay maintenance for my mom after divorce.
Please help me in getting my mom justice.
Thanks
Sekhar
