These problems with Ellie's behavior and her dad's frustrations with Leasa's parenting has gone on for at least two years, according to the YouTube video. He has a good case for taking custody. From the way that things have been developing if he or someone doesn't step in that girl's future prospects are gong to be zero. Maybe Leasa is realizing that rebelling against dad's advice may have her out on her own if Ellie lives with him and is therefore listening to him about putting so much of Ellie out there on YouTube, so she is keeping her mouth shut. Everyone else involved holds all the cards for this one.
This new obsession with the afterlife and reincarnation isn't what is important. Making sure that her daughter has all her schoolwork done, as when kids are expelled they are still expected to do the schoolwork that they would have done at school. It is not about acting tough on Tik Tok or being a brat to your mother when out for a walk when she should be at home doing schoolwork.

French ballerina because she likes France! On the Titanic! The only ballerina that Wilkes reminds me of is the ones in the Disney animation,
