When summons are served upon you as a respondent in any petition, you may yourself appear before the concerned Court. You may also appear by a pleader or Advocate, whom you should properly instruct so that he is able to answer all material questions before the Court. Any other person who is able to answer all material questions may also appear before the Court on your behalf, accompanied by a pleader. However, go through the summons carefully. If the summons requires that you are to personally appear, then you have to appear before the Court on the given date. (Order V, CPC).

Hello,

1. You can appoint advocate who can appear on your behalf.

2. You can file divorce case and child custody case in Delhi as per facts of the case.

3. You can take the benefit of previous filed case in your prospective cases.

4. You can narrate the wife's financial status before court. This will help in maintenance case.

5. Your mother can file case against your wife about her cruelty. She can also approach senior citizen cell.

In response to your query,

Yes section 125 of CRPC say that a man who can sufficiently provide for his wife, minor children or parents shall be responsible to give a monthly allowance as maintenance to them as the case may suggest, but this provision cannot be misused and if you give sufficient evidence in the court to prove that your wife is deciding not to stay with you without sufficient reason or if you can prove that she is self-sufficient to provide for herself and is trying misuse the law you will be having and upper hand in the case and you can get your child's custody as well.
