The answer

If your wife deals with sorcerers and diviners, she has committed a great evil. You must continue to advise her gently and supplicate for her guidance. You can also seek help from someone who can advise her and instill in her the fear of God.

If she does not repent, then it is recommended to separate from her, because she is negligent in fulfilling the rights of Allah and cannot be entrusted with the custody of her daughter while in such a state of disobedience. Her custody will be forfeited and transferred to the next person in line for custody.
