In order to properly reply to your question we have to see the judgment and decree passed by the family court whether the court had ordered your ex wife to return the dower amount to you in lieu of Khula, and if did what is the amount. Seconly, whether your wife demands maintenance for child or not it is your duty to pay the maintenance amount according to your needs. Getting custody after the period of Hizanat is your right but then the court will decided keeping in view the paramount consideration of minor. However, the good grounds can be if she marrys to another person or if she tries to leave the jurisdiction of the court you can seek order for meeting with minor wards twice a month. If you wish you can scan the judgment and decree and send it to www.irfanharoon.com
