You may want to contact a local lawyer for pursuing your legal remedies. You may be entitled to support for yourself as also for your daughter.
The divorce procedure for marriage under special marriage act is substantially similar to a Hindu divorce case in court.
However, legal right for divorce as well as child rights etc will be different. So contact a local lawyer for assistance.
