In Florida, spouses have inheritance rights so long as the couple is married. Only after the divorce is final can a spouse (now an ex-spouse) completely disinherit the other spouse.
Since divorces often take a long time, I suggest you consult an estate lawyer in your area to find out what you can do to maximize your daughter's inheritance right now.
