The Ruling on Filing for Divorce Against the Husband

Question
A woman has been married for four months, and her husband is neglecting her in every way, distancing her whenever she gets close. He then got to know another woman, and whenever there is a problem between the couple, the husband sends her back to her parents' house. She is currently at her parents' house and wants to file for divorce, knowing that he divorced her some time ago, but she did not inform her family about it. Can she claim her legal rights in court from him or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: If she had initially involved the good people, it would have resolved the issue between them, and then afterwards consult a trusted legal lawyer on how to obtain her rights. And God knows best.
