You need to tackle this case other way round. Since she is the deserter and has left the matrimonial home, deserting you, without there being any just and sufficient cause, she is not entitled to a penny. You need to file a reply saying that she is the one who has deserted you and show your willingness that you are ready to accept her back and bear her full responsibility in the matrimonial home.

Instead of straightway filing a divorce petition, I will advise you to file  petition for restitution of conjugal rights. You need to tackle things in an indirect way, so that you retain some bargaining power at any time there is a out of court settlement in this matrimonial dispute.

3) no sense in increasing home rentals 

4) you cannot force wife to stay with you if she is  subject to dowry/ sexual  harassment

1) As you have already appointed a lawyer (the chap who served legal notice on your wife on your behalf), instruct him/her to defend you in maintenance case. Your plea should be that you are willing to cohabiit with you wife and so the question of maintenance under section 125 of crpc doesn't arise 

2) Based on your pleadings, the magistrate will direct your wife for justify her reasons for refusing to cohabiit. If she isn't able to do so, the maintenance case against you is bound to be quashed.
