    ....
    And without being too blunt how far are you prepared to go to evict the mother of your child ? Homelessness ? Deportation ? And what impact does that have on your daughter ? 
    How is this different from living in a rented accommodation and divorcing mother of one's own child?

    Formality of a divorce, financial settlement, agreed breakdown of relationship and desire to move on. 

    In this case, unless I’ve misread, the partner has no desire to move on given the current financial position - and may be influenced to stay by visa issues/risks. 

    Hence the question of how far the OP is prepared to go - especially as we only have one side of a story

    That on its own wouldn't give the right to live in the UK, so why is she remaining married to him?

    Based on the salary situation, quite possibly working visa?

    Working visa doesn’t relate to marital status though? 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    perhaps she  used that as an excuse not to get married and the OP  accepted it.
