Sir, I am facing family problems. We are seeking mutual divorce, but my husband and in-laws say that after the divorce, my child shall not be entitled to ancestral property. Can they do so? Can I ask for accommodation and maintenance?

such issues are decided by the court of law and not by an individual and are guided by the law of Inheritance.

As far as I know, yes. Please see Right of the child of divorced parents.
Best thing is to consult a good lawyer. It's the birthright and it cannot be denied.

Well, I second Mr. Simhan; you must consult with a "Divorce Consulting lawyer," which is the best thing to do rather than discussing here in this community.
As far as I know about the laws and the knowledge that I have earned, allow me to say that even after divorce, you and your children will be able to get social and financial security from your husband, but not in ancestral property.
Secondly, I would suggest you resolve your problems by giving your 100%. Divorce is not the solution to the problem, I would say. If there is a case of mutual divorce, then your problem can also be solved by discussing, putting in extra efforts, understanding the other's point of view, and giving time to the relationship. The things that are not in your favor require your special attention but with wise actions.
I am not as experienced in life as Mr. Simhan and you, but I know that going through a divorce will not make life too easy, and problems can be solved by discussing them with better understanding.
You can also consult the experts via Free legal advice India and can also find contacts of lawyers for Divorce Consulting in Mumbai to contact a good lawyer or visit personally if possible.
Best of Luck
