        I am reaching out to seek legal advice and assistance regarding child support. I am not from India, but my ex-boyfriend who is an Indian citizen is the father of my 5-year-old daughter.

        He is not consistently helping me in raising or supporting our child financially. I would like to know the legal steps I can take to make him contribute monthly to our daughter’s support, especially considering that he lives in India and I do not.

        I would appreciate your guidance on whether I can file a case in India, what documents or evidence I would need, and what the process would look like.

                        He usually fights cases from males side. Like he fought Sarbjit Singh Case. Or many cases false dowry and harassment cases which many NRI husband face.

                    On legality, yes, you can seek child support. Realistically, be prepared for a looooomg drawn out legal case, which is only complicated by the fact that you’re not in India :/

                      Your child is entitled to maintenance and inheritance irrespective of whether you both are married or not and both parents are obligated to provide financial support to the child. You can claim child support and can use DNA test as proof

                      Amount of money received from the child support would depend on your bf’s income and financial status

                      (note: Though your baby is entitled to maintenance, he is not entitled to the property of your bf unless the property is ancestral or your bf passway without a will)

                          Thats wrong. Child has inheritance rights on his/parents assets. Indian law always considers the best interest of the child in such cases.

                              No, if the property is self acquired by the father then he can make will without consideration of the child. If the property is ancestral then the father’s will is void

                            Name and shame him . I am sorry to have to say this and this is probably not what you would want to do but make it public that he is the father of your child and has been inconsistent in his duty.
                            You would be surprised what societal pressures can make a person finally act right. Especially Asians.

                                      Is there a way to involve his family? If so do that.

                                          His a lying piece of shit. He said to his family members that his giving every month and making exaggerated amount. He will tell them ohhh shes just asking for me i already sent her this and this and she still wants more. They all believed him even if i show them the bank proofs and bank statements that his not.

                                              I am sorry Op that you have to endure this. I am imagine how disappointed it must be.

                                              Try them. Hopefully someone helps you pro bono.
                                              Otherwise, hire a lawyer who can do the proveedings on your behalf via them.
                                              Lastly, do NOT try to visit India. If he doesn’t care for his own daughter which in my opinion is a the lowest grade of human who is to say he may not try to harm you in any way.

                                                  I would still put up a post of Facebook tagging all his relatives, extended relatives, friends etc. I would even make sure to post on LINKEDIn.
                                                  Someone earlier commented that they would blame you, well they already do but this way atleast he will pay.

                                            Would need more details.

                                            Is father residing in India? Or just Indian citizen?

                                            Claiming maintenance(child support) may require visits to India.

                                                    Where are you residing?

                                                    Can you check with attorney in your country if the child support order issued by your county can be collected/executed in UAE.

                                                    Is the baby even actually his? I don’t trust you. If the baby is his, prove it in court and then you can get child support. But, if you’re not married, I don’t think courts will allow it. Downvote me all you want. I don’t care.

                                                            Then you can maybe get that child support.

                                                            Who asked you to have a kid with him ? The legal system has deal with immature adults rather than dealing with actual injustice. Yuck.

                                                                I didn’t ask for judgment I asked for legal advice to make sure my child is supported by both parents, as she deserves. Being a responsible parent isn’t immature. What’s immature is blaming a mother for a father’s neglect. If you can’t contribute constructively, move along.
