Growing up in a Christian family, I’ve witnessed my father’s alcoholism for as long as I can remember. My mother and I suffered through years of physical and emotional abuse, which unfortunately continues to this day. I’m 26 now, struggling with anxiety and personality issues while studying psychology. My mother, despite battling Trigeminal Neuralgia, works tirelessly to support us on her 10,000 rupees monthly income. My father earns over 80,000 rupees a month, yet there’s little to show for it besides our basic needs. He’s squandering his income, and I want to know what legal options I have to hold him accountable financially.

Under Indian law, you can file a maintenance claim against your father for financial support. You can also seek a restraining order against him if the physical and emotional abuse continues. A lawyer specializing in family law can advise you on the best course of action given your specific circumstances.
