Am I obligated to take my daughter to visit her paternal ex-in-laws, knowing that her father and his family do not maintain ties of kinship with their daughter, and that my current husband refuses to let me take her there personally, and asks my brothers to do so, but they refuse?

You are not obligated to take the daughter to visit her father or his family. However, it is not permissible to prevent them from visiting or seeing her if they wish to do so. You must teach your daughter about maintaining kinship ties (silat al-rahim) and the rights of her father and his relatives.
