If you are alone and financially week, it may be a tough battle to fight; even otherwise, the litigation route is uncertain, time consuming and costly. try to find out other remedies. Your daughter's age is very crucial for school life. Make efforts to adjust with the situation.
Legally, it is a case of cruelty. Your options are : (a) moving the local police under Section 498-A IPC with a written complaint of all his wrong-doings mentioning the specific instances which took place in the presence of your daughter; and/or (b) making an application to the court under domestic violence laws, marriage laws, custody laws, maintenance etc.
You may be entitled to maintenance as well as the accommodation.
Think twice before initiating litigation process. Exposing your daughter to litigation may not be a good idea.
Wish you good luck. !
