In light of the wife's complete refusal to adhere to her Sharia-mandated and familial duties, her insistence on behaviors that are not in accordance with Islamic law, her rejection of changing her ways, and the husband's desire to divorce her, what are the rulings regarding alimony for the wife and the daughter, and is the husband entitled to demand the annulment of the mother's custody over the child, and when can he do so, and what are his rights regarding visiting his daughter and hosting her if she remains in the mother's custody?
You are not obligated to financially support your wife during the period she remains in her father's house, as her departure constitutes an act of nushuz (disobedience), and her right to maintenance during this period is forfeited. You may refer the matter to the judiciary to revoke her right to custody due to her transgression. If you are unable to revoke her right to custody, you are permitted to see your daughter without being in seclusion with her mother, and you may take her out wherever you wish.
