April 10, 2025 at 7:26 pmI’m 18 and just got accepted to a university abroad. My parents separated when I was not even born, and I’ve never met my father. He’s had zero involvement in my life.There’s a long legal history between him and my mom. She receives ₹35,000/month as court-ordered maintenance, note that she doesn’t earn. He got a divorce, but my mom appealed and it’s still pending. We also filed a DV case against him not just due to emotional abuse, but because we later found out he was already married when he married my mom. That’s also why the court dismissed his plea to meet me because he basically threatned to hurt us on call when my mom and little me was at my grandparents.
Now that I’ve turned 18 and got this opportunity, I need help funding my studies tuition, visa, and living expenses until I can start working part-time abroad.
Can I still legally ask him for financial support, or does turning 18 end his obligation?
And if we go to court, how long could it take? My deadlines are tight. Also, would I be forced to meet him in any way?Any legal insight or personal experience would really help. Thanks!
I’ve heard he’s required to pay as long as I’m not independent? Is it true?

April 10, 2025 at 7:37 pm**-NAL-**You can directly request him. If he agrees, all well and good.
If you’re a Hindu woman, your father might be legally required to support you until you’re married. Confirm this with a lawyer though.
OR you can ask the lawyer whether your mother can approach court to raise the maintenance.

April 11, 2025 at 6:31 amThe marriage was void because the man was already married. OP can’t do anything legally to get the money.-

April 11, 2025 at 5:56 pmThen how exactly is OP’s mother getting 35k maintenance?Indian law is sometimes contradictory.
Child marriage isn’t legal in India but the law still recognizes married couples who were wedded off as minors.

Idk why these guys abusing you as there’s nothing wrong from your side it was his choice to have unsafe sex after marrying a woman whom he didn’t even want to have in his life and was too already married don’t worry you ain’t wrong here.

April 11, 2025 at 2:39 amEven if you seek money from him for your education through Court, he cannot be forced to pay for your exorbitant fee abroad. The court will ask you why you can’t study in India, when there is an affordability issue. So he will only be asked to pay in line with what he can afford.. -
