Preventing to meet your daughter is cruelty and that can be a ground for divorce. However maintenance differs from case to case depending on the custody of the child and the economic condition of the wife. In your case you'll have to decide whether to fight for custody. If your wife takes sole custody of the child then you'll have to pay for the maintenance of your child too

Hi, you can file a divorce case and you asked about how much to pay as maintenance? In maintenances issue court can decided but she is working as professor so you should submit the records to the Court. Nowadays court would consider wife's income
