How to contest the divorce and maintenance case filed by wife along with my RCR case

Sir, I am pursuing my post-graduate degree in general medicine. How to contest the divorce and maintenance case filed by wife along with my RCR case? My wife has filed a petition under section 125 of the CrPC for maintenance for herself and our newborn baby boy. I have filed an RCR (restitution of conjugal rights) case against my wife. Before filing that case, I had sent her a legal notice, but there was no response. In response, she has filed for divorce. The main issue is her extramarital affair. Despite that, I want to live with her because of our son. My advocate suggests seeking a DNA test to establish paternity of the new baby. How can we contest my wife’s maintenance and divorce case?
