Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

We need help
My daughter is 14 and her father is verbally and emotionally abusive. She has come to the point that she has chest pains when she is with him and has thoughts of suicide because of the way he is treating her. I have put her in counseling but this cycle needs to stop. I am out of money for custody court and he is self employed so I get little to no support from him, even though he has a good income, I cannot prove it on paper. I want to have our custody order ratified so I can cut back on his contact with her because of the abuse she suffers at his hands, but she is afraid of him and can't tell him on her own that she does not want to see him. And since we have joint custody, I have no choice but to abide by the order. Is there any way to get legal help for Alana so she can ask for this court order to be changed so she spends less or no time with him. Or can someone help me with my legal issues so I can help her.I left him because he was destroying my life with his abuse, now he is hurting her and I can do nothing because no one will listen to us
