I am a Hindu.my ex wife has taken the custody of our daughter without my consent or from the court. Now she spends extravagantly ( without my knowledge and consent) claiming the money is being spent for our daughter. She also is now claiming that I should pay for all the expenses she is making. Am I liable to pay for the same?

First of all you have disclose about the age of your minor daughter and whether legally divorce in between you and your ex-wife has completed or not. And if your daughter's age exceeds to 5 years then you have the legal right to take your daughter to custody of yourself according to Guardianship Act. (your wife can claim for maintenance if she is unable to maintain herself. )Thank You.
