RCR will be time consuming unless you have strong notion that there will be cases filled agaianst you.

WHat's purpose if she has deserted for 2 years and living in another city?. Save on manitainance. She will win it exparte. I don't  see the reason.

Counter productive for Child custody at the time of RCR as you are seeking restitution and you are seeking separately custody as well.

 

Custody has two meaning. legal and Physical. You mayn't get physical custody unless you prove she hasn't been good mother and you are better parent for the future of child.

You may get legal cusotdy if fought right.

 

Visistation is only thing you will get in RCR and that too after many court date. It would be atleast a year before you see the kid.

 

If no reason exist to cohabit together than mutual consent divorce is best move forward

If you want free divorce wait till you get decree in RCR.

Custody you can file and wait till court orders something.

Its best advised to file RCR, take decree and then simply stay put keeping in mind you have kid out of wedlock, you will get divorced but what about kid future?  Have you both thought about it?

@ Gurmansingh

Apply for custody under Gaurdians and wards act as the DV act is a gender Biased act .Try to drag the matter in the DV case as much as possible .

Under this section the custody automatically goes to the women and you may get visitation rights .

Section 21 in The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005
21. Custody orders.—Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, the Magistrate may, at any stage of hearing of the application for protection order or for any other relief under this Act grant temporary custody of any child or children to the aggrieved person or the person making an application on her behalf and specify, if necessary, the arrangements for visit of such child or children by the respondent: Provided that if the Magistrate is of the opinion that any visit of the respondent may be harmful to the interests of the child or children, the Magistrate shall refuse to allow such visit.
