What is the ruling on cutting off relatives who are averse to religious commitment, what are the obligatory and recommended limits of maintaining kinship ties, and is a phone call sufficient to maintain these ties?

Causing harm and disdain does not permit the severing of kinship ties. One should refrain from contact that leads to harm. It is sufficient to maintain contact by inquiring about their well-being, praying for them, offering assistance, checking on their circumstances, or exchanging greetings with them. It is better to endure their harm and respond to their ill-treatment with kindness, gentleness, tenderness, and wisdom, while supplicating for them.
