Getting a divorce in Israel is under the jurisdiction of the Religious courts. The couple should turn to the court closest to their religion (ethnic or practiced), and seek their advice.
This is not an easy process in any religion and the couple is best advised to try their luck in a country with a secular divorce system.
THere is also a "family court" system - which is authorized to discuss the monetary side of the divorce, but not to issue their own divorced.

Names and changing them are under the authority of misrad hapnim. http://www.moin.gov.il/ (the site doesn't support any browser except explorer).
If your daughter is not yet 18, both parents have to approve of the name-changing, and have to express this approval in person at misrad haPnim (opening hours of your local office on the website).
The service is free, there are forms online - but they have to be handed in in person.
The seven-year rule stands: however, the minister has the statutory authority to waive the rule when he or she sees fit. Marriage would probably have good chances of approval.
