    She goes to a lawyer and tells him that her rights are being violated and start the divorce. Everything is half hers so she can take it. She doesn't have to leave the house , all she has to do is go get some state aid until the whole process is worked out and he has to pay her alimony, and child support if the child is under 18.

    If she has the kid, she should be getting money from him. Once court comes, this wont look too good for the daddy. She should sit tight. She is being victimized. In the meantime, she should probably get a job to support her daughter.

    She needs to talk to a lawyer.
