Can my spouse (we are separated) keep my daughter from me prior to a custody order?

I have bee waiting to get to court. No custody order yet. When I first left and we separated I was my daughter twice a day to take her to and from school and visited with her every other weekend. Over the last 6+ months that time has gotten shorter and shorter. As of now I have not seen my daughter in 7 weeks. The ex has restricted me from morning and evening calls to my daughter every day to 3 times a week. It’s to the point my daughter ask me to quit calling her.
