Help: child access, custody and visitation

My wife is living separately with minor daughter (4 years) from past 3 years in another city. All efforts to bring her back to matrimonial home went in vein. 

I used to visit them regularly and on birthdays and anniversaries since they left. Off late June 2014, she has filed a divorce case (MC) where she is living under section 13, which is going on (Stage: Evidence from petitioner). On the other hand i have applied a G&WC case (July 2014) for child custody and visitation rights where im living. Looks like she is avoiding the summons sent by court (from one year).  Her advocate informed me to not to visit them and follow procedures. 

I'm not allowed to visit or talk over the phone. Gifted a phone to my daugher on her birthday which is switched off now. They are demanding permanent alimony, as she is well qualified and working im not agreeing to their demands. However, from past 1.5 years (Mar 2014) I'm sending volunterily a maintainance amount towards my daughter. They might file a maintainance case also in next hearing. We are heading towards a legal battle. I'm worried about my daughter n missing her. Please help.

Questions:
1. Can we file an application (in MC case) for visitation rights or to bring her to court where i can meet her?
2. What to do get the child access?
3. What to do if they are not accepting the court summons? 
4. Please help, she is already feeding all negatives about me and grandparents.

Sir,

 

If she is not willing to live with you better seek divorce and move on .... But you can mention that you want the visitation rights of the daughter even after you gets divorced.

 

Warm Regards

1. Can we file an application (in MC case) for visitation rights or to bring her to court where i can meet her?

you can file the petition in the court that she is already attending in divorce case and pray her to bring her daughter to court or any other place were you can meet her 

2. What to do get the child access?

as of now your daughter is only 4 years and court will not grant

3. What to do if they are not accepting the court summons?

request for personal notice were your lawyer will issue notice to them personally and takes acknowledgement

4. Please help, she is already feeding all negatives about me and grandparents.

when you meet her give your love and affection

@Uday:  The notice under GWC case if refused by her then you can get an exparte order which will be more effective.  If it managed to return then you can arrange to serve the same in the court before the judge at the time of her appearance in another case.  Your lawyer will be having better ideas, discuss with him or tell us his opinions on this.
