Maintenance and child custody

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 17 November 2021 This query is : Open 
Sir,
My wife residing saperately with my child.
She file 125 CRPC, and interim maintenance is granted for both of them.
I want full custody / joint custody of my child which is pending in family court under HMA.
She file execution case although I pay 80 percent of maintenance amount awarded by court.

Can I pray before the court to reduce/stop maintenance for my child as I want to maintain my child by keeping with me ?

How can I stop paying maintenance for my child, if at least joint custody is not given ?

As per my opinion both the parents have equal right on their children and since I fulfill all needs of my child, court should pass order for at least joint custody.

Can I raise objection in execution case ???

When was the award passed ?
Whether the award passed is by a Family or criminal / civil court to ascertain the point of assailing?

During the minor age of the child, you may get visiting rights to your child if you file a case. Consult your own counsel.

On what condition can I get joint custody of children ? Since I am paying all expenses, could I stop maintenance joint custody not granted ?

For example in a case Calcutta HC stated that, child will stay with father during weekend, if child refused to stay with father then father will stop paying maintenance.
