Divorce from Khula Request

Question
If the wife requests a divorce and the husband does not want to divorce, then she requests Khula, does he have to pronounce the divorce on her, and when is she divorced from him, knowing that he has abandoned her, when does she become forbidden to him?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She can negotiate with him for khula by paying some money in exchange for the divorce, and it is better to involve good people in resolving the issue, whether by continuing the marriage or through divorce. Divorce does not occur through abandonment, and God knows best.
