Wife

A wife is a female partner in a continuing marital relationship.
The term continues to be applied to a woman who has separated from her partner, and ceases to be applied to such a woman only when her marriage has come to an end, following a legally recognized divorce or the death of her spouse. On the death of her partner, a wife is referred to as a widow, but not after she is divorced from her partner.

This will depend on what type of divorce was conducted. If it is raj'i (revocable), and within her 'iddah period, then they are husband and wife again.

You have no obligation according to Fiqh standards. The matter of honesty and friendliness and... with your spouse is something else. You have to manage it according to her types of manners and how demanding she would be in future.

Yes, you can do that, as long as she is ok with you being away from her, and try your best to either bring her to where you live, or finish your trip and return back to live together. 

Husband and wife in general should be living together regularly. 

As for seeing each other, etc, that is also permissible, but you correctly said "without masturbation". 

And Allah knows best

Yes, these things are permissible, or rather even mustahab, as a form of foreplay. Our religion Islam encourages one to fulfil the sexual needs of the spouse, and not only their sexual needs. This is why foreplay is mustahab. 

Of course, as semen is najis, that would be the only concern, to make sure that najasah is not swallowed. 

And Allah knows best.

If wife no longer wishes to be with husband, for whatever reason, she will not be punished, unless she has wronged him. If she no longer had the tolerance or patience to be with him, then she is not going to be held accountable for that. She probably did her best, and it could have been too overwhelming for her. 

This is more a moral situation, rather than a shar'i situation.

No. Abortion is killing a human being in early formation. Abortion is not permissible at all except in the case of saving the life of the mother if pregnancy can kill her.

Married couple are allowed to enjoy themselves together including taking intimate pictures for themselves, provided that such pictures should never be seen by others. They can see their own intimate pictures but not pictures of others.
