Legal Question in Family Law in India

I got married in 2005. Both me and my husband were working in Bangalore with MNC firms. We had a daughter and were having a good life. He got his H1 Visa and we went to US in 2008 leaving my good job in India. I went there on H4 visa. Things started changing in USA. He started ignoring us. He never used to take care of even our basic needs. He did not use to give me a single penny for my expense. I had no phone, no bank account no other facility. He did not even try for my further studies or visa change. He had no interest in my daughters education as well. Infact he left us alone and took up a job elsewhere leaving me and my daughter alone with no money and no amenities. I started calling him and fighting with him that he needs to keep us with him. With my brothers interference he took us with him. After some time he said you go back to India get a job and I will also come back as the market situation is not good in USA. We came back and its been more than 2 years he has not even visited us. He does not responds to my calls and mails. Intially he used to send some minimal money to us which also he has stopped. I have taken up a job in India but it is difficult for me to sustain everything alone. My daughter is studying in a good school and doing academically good. He does not even support her education expense. Kindly advise how can we make him come back to India or atleast support his family. He is earning good in USA and sends money to his parents but not to us.

Request your advise.
