Should a husband divorce his wife who insists on divorce due to feeling neglected, despite his promise to change, her refusal of family intervention, and her threat of Khul' (divorce at the wife's instance with compensation) as she did with her first husband, all for the sake of the children and family stability?

You should not divorce your wife. Rather, strive for reconciliation, live with her in kindness, and fulfill her needs. If she insists on divorce, you are not obligated to agree to her request. You may refuse until she offers you compensation (khul').
