U​
**TLDR**: my dad, who never wanted a daughter and exclusively provided for his son, is planning to retire with no savings. He is likely going to go to court to demand maintenance from me, his daughter. Do i have any legal way to not give him the money or to declare a lower net worth so i don’t need to give him as much?
**Full story**: My dad never wanted a daughter so he literally spent nothing on me. The only reason i was even allowed to get a bachelor’s degree was because his relative told him it would be good for my marriage. So i was allowed to do bcom at a local college.
My brother on the other hand went to a very famous boarding school and then to a fancy University to do a degree that he didn’t even use. My brother has never really worked long-term he would either get bored of the job or expect that he should be promoted within a few months of joining. He also parties a lot and spends beyond his means. My dad has spent close to 2cr on covering his expenses and paying his loans over the past 15 years. All this while telling my mom that he has no money.
Now the issue is he wants to retire despite no savings. He’s thinking of selling the house and moving to a smaller house but he thinks that will only last 10 years. Also within that house money he has already earmarked 30% to give to his son because ‘otherwise how will he manage’. I’ve been working for the past 10 years and have built up a small corpus by living very frugally because i knew that i would never have any inheritance or anything to fall back on if i needed to make big purchases. i know that his eye is already on that but i don’t want to give it to him.
Do i have any legal way to not give him the money or to declare a lower net worth so i don’t need to give him as much?
