You can't get her out if your wife wants to let her child stay: your wife has equal rights as you to the use and possession of the marital residence, and those rights include the right to have family (such as children) live with her. You and your wife jointly could remove the daughter via an "ejectment" action filed in court, but if your wife doesn't agree to remove her, you cannot do so.
