your mother in law certainly can claim maintainance for herself including the amount of monthly rent from her husband who is living seperately. Mother in law may also seek compensation for her health, health insurance etc. Secondly, if property of father in law, including the petrol pump is self acquired, no one including your husband / your mother in law can claim share in the property. If property is ancestral, either your husband or your mother in law can claim share in the property also.
