The father is still her wali until it is proven that he is a kafir.

In the situation where a sister’s father commits shirk by going to a fortune teller, is he then not suitable to be the wali in the marriage contract? Should the role of wali be given to her eldest brother instead who is an adult? What if it’s not clear whether the father has repented or not, what should happen?
