Is a wife considered divorced, Islamically and legally, if her father divorces her by virtue of a power of attorney, even though her husband stipulated that he (the father) should not divorce her except after consulting him (the husband) and obtaining his (the husband's) approval?
If you stipulated to your father that he should not divorce your wife except after referring to you, then he is not authorized to carry out the divorce. Consequently, his divorce of your wife without your permission is not legally valid.
