The Family Courts Ordinance of 1985 states that the mother usually has the most right to the custody of her young children in case of daughter you can keep your daughter till she attains puberty. after that the daughter need to to handed to her father as he is the natural guardian of her. However in your case the daughter is well mature to form an intelligent preference. If you daughter want to see her father there is nothing in law which prevent her from doing so. Since you cannot reach your husband you should move on with your life and convince your daughter to stay with you. Thereafter you must consider to file a case in the appropriate court of your district for legal guardianship of your daughter. For filing the suit please contact an experienced lawyer.
