A.Dear Client,
Navigating such family dynamics requires delicate consideration and communication. To address the financial imbalance and concerns about living arrangements, initiate an open and honest conversation with your wife. Share your perspective on the financial contributions needed for household expenses and express your desire for your parents to be part of the family. Seek to understand her concerns and work towards finding a mutually agreeable solution. If direct communication proves challenging, considering the assistance of a professional mediator or counselor may provide a neutral platform for discussing these matters. Prioritize maintaining a healthy and supportive environment for all family members involved, and explore compromises that ensure the well-being and happiness of everyone in the family. Legal advice may also be sought to understand any legal aspects related to shared finances and living arrangements. Your parents have the option to file a complaint against your daughter-in-law under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, and can also submit an application under Section 5 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents & Sr. Citizens Act, 2007. This application should be directed to the maintenance tribunal presided over by the SDM/DM, outlining the harassment and humiliation faced by your aged parents. Upon receiving the maintenance application, the tribunal will conduct an inquiry, allowing all parties to be heard, and then determine the amount of maintenance. The tribunal can issue an order for payment of maintenance, up to Rs.10,000, by the errant children or relatives, along with the possibility of eviction from the property belonging to the Sr. Citizens/Parents. Additionally, the Maintenance Tribunal holds the authority under Sec.23 of the Act to cancel a deed of gift executed in favor of children or relatives who fail to maintain their aged parents/Sr. Citizens. This forum provides a less expensive and more straightforward way to resolve such disputes. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents & Sr. Citizens Act aims to protect the safety and security of Sr. Citizens facing harassment in their later years, ensuring they lead a life with dignity. An Elder Help Line (No.14567) is available through the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, providing assistance to Sr. Citizens in various crises. Your parents may consider contacting them through the helpline to seek resolution in this matter.
Thankyou

A.Dear Client,
In situation try discussing the financial responsibilities and the desire for your parents to live with you. If communication doesn't resolve the issues, consider seeking professional mediation or counseling to address the concerns and find a middle ground. If the situation escalates and legal intervention is needed, you may explore legal options such as consulting with a family lawyer to understand your rights and responsibilities. It's crucial to handle such matters with sensitivity and explore amicable solutions for the well-being of everyone involved, considering the best interests of your child as a priority.
