I doubt you will like this answer, but I think you will have a difficult time filing for custody unless ana comes to live with you and stays there for six months. As it appears now, you do not have legal standing to file for custody. If the abuse rises to the level where Child Protective Services could be involved the situation could change, but that does not sound like what you are describing. I hope this helped.
