She might be experiencing nightmares or anxiety since the divorce. If this is the case, it might be good for her to sleep next to her dad for a while. Maybe she cries at night. However, it has been a year and this should come to an end VERY soon. She's very likely to become confused if it continues, especially when she gets older and thinks back to it. She might find herself on this site asking if it's normal, but with more sexual concerns. Not good.
He should try other things, maybe get her a bear with "I love you" stitched on it or something so she won't feel alone at night. He should schedule a couple of weekly outings with her- just father-daughter time, and find other ways to make her feel that she's not alone, the divorce is not her fault, and her dad still loves her.
