    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 762/274/TL=1432) You should preferably try to adjust and reconcile the matter. If the reconciliation efforts fail, then the better way of giving talaq is to give her one talaq and leave her until her iddah is complete. In case of giving talaq, you will have to give her maintenance of the iddah period. Also, you can have second marriage without giving talaq, but in this case you will have to maintain equality and do justice between the two. She is at fault to prevent you to see your child.
