Question
My family wants me to divorce my wife. My wife want me to cut relations with my family. What do I do?

Just as you have rights towards your parents and family, similarly you have rights towards your wife. Please Allah Ta'ala through fulfilling the rights of everybody.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
