A. Dear Client,

In 2016, the Delhi High Court ruled that 'a son, irrespective of his marital status, has no legal right to live in his parents' house, and can reside there only at their mercy'. However, if the children are abusive, the parents have a blanket right to evict them. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act has provisions to safeguard parents’– and in-laws’– right to property through giving them the choice to evict the daughter-in-law from their own proper ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Unless you can prove the second marriage with your deceased husband legally, you will not be able to exercise your right to claim against your deceased husband. To find out whether your deceased husband filed any divorce petition either in family court or District Court, you need to hire the service of an Advocate or Law clerk to access the information from the registry of the respective Court. The validity of a Hindu marriage is not affected by the failure to register the marriage. ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
If you are a co-owner of the ancestral property, you can execute a Deed of Relinquishment. This is a legal document that states your intention to give up your share of the property. This typically requires the consent of all co-owners. If the property is held jointly by multiple family members, you may need their consent to transfer your share to your brother or another family member. If you are of legal age, you may not require a legal guardian. However, if you are a minor, the pro ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Even if they got married in 1985/86 as per the proper Hindu system, it is not too late to register their marriage. They can visit the local Sub-Registrar's office and complete the registration process. This will provide legal proof of their marriage. To safeguard their interests, they should consider creating legal documents, such as a will, to clearly specify their wishes regarding property, assets, and inheritance. They can consult with a lawyer to draft these documents. If the wi ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

In India, maintenance is governed by various laws, including the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. These laws generally require individuals to provide financial support to their dependents, which can include aged or infirm parents. If you are in need of financial support and can demonstrate that you are unable to maintain yourself adequately, you may have a stronger case for claiming maintenance. Section 20(1) of the Hindu Adoption ...ReadMore

You should consult with your attorney to build a strong argument against the transfer based on the best interests of you and your child. Your attorney can present evidence and arguments to demonstrate why the cases should remain in their current jurisdiction.

Child's Best Interests: Emphasize to the court that relocating the cases to a different jurisdiction ...ReadMore
