Child access (legal opinion required)

Hello Experts,

Wife has been denying access to the child (son). I am the petitioner and have filed the case on the basis of mental cruely (including not allowing child to meet me). She cites various reasons for not giving the access to the child. What can be done in this case to gain access to the child?

@ Sarvanan : Thanks for your reply. Son is now 7+ years old.

What is GWA? Can I file it in sessions court itself? Is this application heard separately from current divorce proceedings or will it be made part of the ongoing proceedings?

if son is more than seven years old then you can claim child custody on valid grounds.gwa is guardian and wards act.you can file child custody and visitation rights under it.its a seperate case from the divorce proceedings
