Engage private detective to know her working details. 

You can file visitation rights application in DV case she will be compelled to disclose her location 

Whether she is employed or not,  as she has not sought maintenance,  there is no necessity for you to probe into her employment details. If she is not attending court and dragging on the case unnecessarily then you can represent before court and object to her attitude and also can insist on the court to direct her to produce medical certificate if she is really not well during the days that she is not attending the court.  

Since her address is already available i the case papers, there is no necessity for you to suspect her address, in case you are filing any petition you can give a copy to her counsel in the court itself, hence you do not hve to strain to find out her address for no reason.

You can file a petition  for child custody and seek for visitation rights as an interim relief by filing a petition under guardians and wards act 

Dear Client,

A licensed private investigator can help you gather information about your wife's residence, employment, and other relevant details. Ensure that the investigator complies with legal and ethical standards. You may have legal rights to access information about your child's school. Contact the school directly and inquire about visitation rights or obtaining information about your child. If you believe your wife is providing false information, you can request the court to investigate and verify the accuracy of the medical certificates or other documentation she has submitted. If you are facing difficulties in meeting your daughter you can request the court about the possibility of modifying visitation rights.

Hello,

Hello Here is what ALL you can do / You should do 

A. File an application before the High Court , seeking directions for the Family court for early disposal of the case. 

B. File an application under section 151 in the divorce case to seek updated address from the respondent. 

C. File a Writ of Habeas Corpus  before the High Court to priduce your doughter - she will be compelled to file a reply along with her latest address. 

D. STOP paying maintenance for few months (Do collect that amount / keep that amount ready to be paid by cheque as soon as she files appearance in court). MAKE sure 151 appliction to file address is on record before you execute this stunt. (We have done it in past and worked well for us in many cases.)

Best of Luck - God Bless.  

Dear Querist,

Immediately file an application before the Court where the maintenance case is pending and requested the court for direction to file detail income and expenditure affidavit as per directed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of "Rajnesh vs Neha" decided on 04.11.2020. All courts are bound and litigant will have to submit their respective affidavit along with all the documents of his/her income, expenditure, saving including bank statements and ITRs.

Feel Free to Call

- If she is a working lady and her income is sufficient for her maintenance then she is not entitled to get maintenance from you , however you both are accountable for the maintenance for the daughter.

- Further, she has no right to deny the visitation right , and hence you can file an application before the same court for getting visitation right of the daughter. 

- Further, if she is not appearing before the divorce case , then you can force the court to pass an ex-parte decree of the divorce 

- Further, if the family court rejected your submission for ex-parte divorce then you can stop the maintenance for a few months , so that she can appear before the court 

- Further, both the parties are bound to file an affidavit for income & expenditure before the court
