Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1. Since you have attained the age of 18 years, you can not legally ask for maintenance from your father anymore.
2. However you can legally enforce your right of share in the property if the same is of ancestral nature for which you can file a suit for partition.
1) you have not mentioned whether it is your father self acquired property or ancestral property .
2) you have no right on your father self acquired property
Legally speaking, when a son has attained the age of majority, a father need not look after his son. However if the property is ancestral, then you will have a right to have a share in the property. If the property is your father's self acquired property, then he is at liberty to dispose off the property as he likes.
Minors have right to maintenance not major.If property is ancestral, you may seek your share otherwise not.
1. Since you have attained the age of majority your father is under no legal obligation to provide financial support to you. It, therefore, follows that you cannot sue him for maintenance.
2. If the property is ancestral in character then you can enforce and cull out your share therein by filing a case for partition. On the contrary, if it is your father's self acquired property then you have no right therein.
1. Since, you are no more a minor, you can not claim any amount for your maintenance from your father,
2. If the properties of your father have been purchased by your father from his earnings, then you can lay no claim on his said properties.
