What is the ideal solution for dealing with a sharp-tongued wife who insults her husband and demeans him, his work, and his home, and refuses the intervention of family, while the husband fears for his daughter from divorce?

Our advice to you is not to despair of reforming your wife. Be patient with her, seek help from Allah Almighty, and resume the methods of her rectification. We also advise you to cooperate with her in strengthening her connection with her Lord, encouraging her to associate with righteous women and listen to beneficial admonitions, and joining her in remembrance of Allah and reciting the Quran. Indeed, her uprightness in her religion necessitates the uprightness of her conduct with her husband. If your wife does not return and treat you with kindness, there is no impediment to involving some righteous individuals to reconcile between you. If all of this does not benefit, then divorce is the last resort.
