Matt,

I went through similar situation last year. First off your daughters behavior is normal for her age. Some kids are better some are worse. It will get betting in time and you have to wait it it.

You need to step back and detach a bit. You need to stop saying negative things to your daughter regarding her mom. She may choose to live with her mom more of the time right now. Keep calm. Don't threaten or coerce. Be the stable one who is the best dad he can be and is always there for her. In time she will see that there is something wrong her mother. Friends may even point it out to her. When it happens you will see a shift back in your direction. She will never say anything bad about her mother so don't look for it. Her actions will speak louder than her words. This will hurt really bad at first. But keep in mind she will come back to you if you do the right things. Don't panic. I can say this with the utmost confidence because this is the advice I received and it has come to pass.
