None other than to be there as a supportive parent.

My dad says people going through a divorce (and he's had three children go through divorces) are like a raccoon in a trap. If you try to help it and free it, it will bite you. Understand this is something you can't save her from, and try not to get too involved in all the bitterness and anger of the divorce. You could end up sucked into resentful feelings towards people that really had nothing to do with it in the first place.
Just give her lots of hugs, and help with logistics where you can - does she need a new place to stay? Can you help her find a lawyer that won't rob her? If she has kids it could be extremely helpful for you to invite them for more days with grandpa.

Just be there for your daughter... you know what divorce can be bad or worst or not really. Depend on what.... don't tell her about see told you not marry him or soemthing just say If you needed anything let me know... I am your father and I will be there for you. I will not tell you how to do what you should do... No, I will do what ever you want me to do and I Love you so much and I care abou tyou and kids? and just let you know I am there for you.
I would say that to my daughter right now she is 3 ... but later on that happen I will support my daughter no matter what life she do in and how she do.

Be there..... I have been through 2 divorces, I am 27 years old. My Daddy was always my supportive, tell me the way it was kind of guy. I liked it that my dad did not pry, he was there if I needed him though..... Divorce is hard, you feel like a failure, and support puts you back to where your mind needs to be..... It is a very confusing time.... JUST BE THERE

I would think that if one of my daughters was getting divorce, my role would be to be there emotionally, spiritually, physically (get your mind out of the gutter you sickos) and maybe even financially especially is I had grandchildren. I would give her as much advice as she asks for.
When she married, you was supposed to cleave to her husband. Husband is now gone so I would be there anyway that I could be.

His role is to support her and not to look down on her for getting divorced.

Supportive parent. Unless you want to pay for the divorce.

There really isn't much you can do, other than to be their for your daughter. Don't give her to much advice right away, or any I told you so's.
Just let her know whatever her decisions you will be there for her. And let her aproach you about the divorce ie. what's going on , who get what.
Oh yeah and don't bad mouth the ex just in case they fix it.

Support her and listen to her if she needs an ear. Lots of love and an occasional pop-in to see how she is doing. Be the strong man in her life.

Just to be there for her. I wouldn't do anything else. She's a big girl. She just needs alittle emotional support.
