Yes, you have to file maintenance petition before the jurisdictional court on behalf of your minor daughter, it will duty of the father to maintain his children. You have to file under section 125 Crpc for maintenance. All the best.

Yes madam, you can claim maintenance for your daughter and yourself by filing Cril.Misc under section 125 of CrPC. If you want one time settlement, the Matter need to be refers to mediation. After discussion between you and your ex-husband, if he agrees then matter ends, otherwise, the matter will proceeds. Ultimate decision in the hands of Hon'ble Court.
