Respectfully request advice as newly divorced dad
It’s been mentioned already
Talk to a Lawyer. ASAP
Don’t talk to her
Don’t do anything stupid.
She abandoned you and took your daughter.
Did she cross state lines?
File with the child support/custody/visitation court in your city then she will need to come back for court hearings.
First and foremost
Your daughter comes FIRST
Everything you do-you are doing with your daughter’s welfare in mind
Do you know how she feels about the situation?
Be careful, don’t put down your wife in her presence.
Also, be prepared that the your wife and in-laws might turn her against you
Just be a father to your daughter
Her welfare comes first
Ask me how I know
