In a dispute between a mother and the father about the raising up of a child, what does the bible say about how that dispute is to be resolved?

I'm not sure.

Eph 6:1-4 Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right."Honor your father and mother", which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Children are to obey their parents. In this case the daughter is trying to obey what her mother is teaching, but is in conflict with her father. Is the father, or the mother the one "provoking" the conflict?

1 Kings 3:25 “And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.”

Which, I might add, has been the rule for all settlement conferences in civil court.
