Hello,
Your brother-in-law should file a Complaint for Divorce or Separate Support and immediately file a motion for custody and child support of his daughter to resolve the matter. That is the best way for your brother-in-law to look after the best interests of his daugher.
Thank you,
It sounds like you want advice on a fault based divorce. Practically speaking, fault based divorces do not give any advantage. Your brother should file for a complaint for divorce, as mentioned above.
