Re: handicap girl mother's dead and not getting any support form father

Aarti, you need come out of the hangover of his money. I remember having written an opinion for you earlier also on this very issue.

As I explained to you earlier, an adult has no claim over his parents' self earned/acquired money/property.

You are a blessed child; having already attained a very high education. If your brother is to settle in life, he should do so on his own. Parents are not the only source of help or financial support. What if your father was poor?

I am sorry, but the law does not help you or your brother in any manner unless you state that you are infirm or invalid and are dependent upon your parents. In that case you may file an application under section 125 of CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE claiming money from your father for your living expense.
