I think it's a good idea
a couple of my siblings were home-schooled (my mother used to be a teacher) and educationally they have turned out fine.

I have to point out the two evident troubles though. The longer she is home-schooled the harder it is to reintegrate with the school community especially if as an only child she hasn't necessarily learnt some of the social skills she would through forced interaction with siblings. However the older she gets the more she'll need specialised teaching which it's hard to provide.

You also don't want a situation where if the mental ex kicks off and causes trouble and won't let you have a part in her education, she ends up being taught one point of view and not necessarily encouraged to seek more.
