Father thrown me & mother out of house and filed divorce
2 years ago
My father has thrown out me and my mother out of our house and he has filed divorce to my mother. He is also holding all my mother's belongings, finances and is torturing her. My mother went into depression and is very fearful to go against him. He now filed divorce to gain complete rights & controls of all my mother's belongings. So how can she fight the case and get her rights now.
Kindly please guide us about how to go forward.
Thank you.
You can fight on behalf of your mother by taking Power of Attorney from her. You may file multiple cases against your father and forcibly can enter into his house and take possession of all the important documents.

As per the facts mentioned, your mother can contest the divorce proceedings and claim all her belongings and file for harassment against your father.

A.Husband legally cannot hold wife's belongings and finances against her consent and cannot abandon her from the matrimonial house. If he has filed divorce then attend the hearing on the listed date and bring all these facts to the notice of the Court and also file a written reply of his divorce petition. Also you mother can file a case for domestic violence as abandoning wife amounts to cruelty and she can also file interim monthly maintenance application in the same matter of divorce or otherwise a separate case for maintenance under section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code,1973. Thank you.
