Your wife can seek maintenance for your daughter in both the separate living arrangements case and the custody case under Indian law. However, the court will ultimately decide the amount of maintenance payable based on the specific facts and circumstances of your case, considering factors like income, needs, and the child’s best interests.

We’ve been married for seven years, both doctors. However, we’ve been living separately for three years due to irreconcilable differences. We tried counseling for six months, but it didn’t work, and I moved into a rented flat with our daughter. My husband isn’t contributing towards my daughter’s expenses or the monthly rent of Rs. 20,000, which increases by 10% every year. Now, he wants a divorce and full custody of our daughter. Can he demand custody before or after the divorce, considering our daughter has been living with me for five years? Is it mandatory for me to sign the divorce papers if he only offers Rs. 15,000 per month in child support?

Previous Article I read a news article about the Supreme Court ruling on ancestral property. It said women can’t inherit ancestral property if their father died before 2005. I’m from Tamil Nadu, and I have some questions. Does this ruling apply to all states? Can women really not inherit ancestral property if their father died before 2005? What share would a woman be entitled to if her father died before 2005?
