Best outcome ever in this situation, he messed up, he should pay for it if he has self respect and honour. But because he is a low life coward with only a sweet tongue to scam others, his daughter was only willing to help under conditions that would benefit her abused her mother the most, getting her freedom back with the divorce and cutting her off from all fillial responsibilities towards him. As his only daughter she is the only one with that responsibility now and it up to her to act on it, if he as a toxic man meets her conditions. Good on her to force a coward to face reality and consequences, he never did in the past and no one dared to hold him accountable, she does now.
