1) custody of daughter would be awarded to you only
2) husband would only get visitation rights
3) you would not get maintenance as there is no difference in your incomes
4) you can seek maintenance for your daughter
If you think that divorce is the only solution to this situation you may decide to go ahead.
Never take any decision in haste.
If the parents of your husband are involved in such tortures, you may file a DV case against them so that they are taken into task for their deeds.
However please remember that your husband is liable for paying maintenance to your child he cannot say no to this.

Getting custody will not be possible for him until the child turns 5 years old.
Dont allow them to snatch the child, you should be vigilant about it.
You can claim alimony but you have to prove that your income is not sufficient to sustain your life.
