Visitation and video calls

Married in 2021.deliverd baby boy in 2023.. Husband abondoned me and child after 6 month.But filed for restitution then later withdrew the case and filed for divorce.I have agreed for divorce but asked for child maintanance.Spouse was completely absent from child's life.Bur now inorder to pressurise me into agreeing for without accepting a single penny.He has asked for child visitation and daily video call.The baby is only 3 years old and very scared to talk on video call and refused and throws the mobile.Meanwhilr the husband at the other end takes screenshots when the phone is thrown and baby is not seen,stating that I am obstructing the call .Hence keep issuing memo asking for baby custody.

What should I do? This pressure is too much.

In case if I tell I do not want any money can he still claim visitation and torture us.

His only aim seems to be to mentally torture me .



Quick Summary
A mother separated from her husband shortly after their child's birth is facing pressure regarding visitation and daily video calls. The husband, who has been absent from the child's life, is reportedly using screenshots of the child's distress during calls as evidence to claim custody, while the mother fears this is a tactic to avoid maintenance payments. The advice suggests pursuing both maintenance and visitation/custody cases separately, as they are distinct legal matters.

Visitition is the right of father, when custody of the minor is with wife.  Child needs both of them.

You should stick to your demand for alimony for yourself as well as child, if you have opted and agreed for divorce.  

The case filed  for restitution is already stated to have been withdrawn, so it has no legal implication / affect and/ or change in circumstances to count for desertion or cruelty.

The visitation Rights or child custody has nothing to do with the maintenance case.

You may pursue both the cases properly as per procedures of law.

Thank you so much for the replies sirs.visitation I can understand.But daily video calls when baby is not willing and very scared.What an we do for that.

Why do not you tell him in uncertain terms that the child is unwilling to talk to you on video daily ? If still he insists, request the court, through your lawyer, to amend its orders accordingly. However, it is not a legal dispute.

The posting is more of feelings and emotions than facts. It could be that the husband has a different version.
