Re: My rights with my father
though u do not have rights in your father's self earned property, you are certainly entitled to a share in the ancestral property; the sale of your grand father's property made by your father can be challenged by u even now. you will get ur share in your grand father's property.
Re: My rights with my father
Though your father has divorced your mother, you have right over the ancestral properties. you can file a suit for partition aganist your father for your share. in case he has sold the same without bringing to your knowledge, you have to initiate legal action against your father and the purchaser of the said property.
In respect of the self earned property you donot get any right.

Answer to your query:
You have or no body has any right to claim the share in the self earned property of father. However you can challenged the transfer if your father had sold out the ancestral property and can claim your share. For further query give full details.
Re: My rights with my father
you have not right against the self earned property of your father
you have right in the property of your grand father.
check and make sure that your mother had not made any statement regarding the ancestral property of your father at the time of divorce. if your mother had recinded your rights or she recieved money or something else in place of your rights then your rights may get extinguished.
