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.

No, it is not permissible.

If wife refuses intimacy, this is haram for her, she become shizah, and it is grounds for divorce, if she persists. 

Why would you lose your son. Sharing custody, and being civil about it is very important and to the benefit of both sides.

Marriage counselling and mediation is also very important.

And Allah knows best

Involve parents, elders, or your local scholar qualified for this to intervene. Have a meeting, try to find ways of reconciling. Try to exhort all effort in amending the relationship, so that if your only choice is divorce, you will do so consciously and responsibly. 

Please watch this, as it will hopefully benefit you in making your decision the right way.

There are conditions in Islam for those who need more than one wife, with out fulfilling these conditions, they are not allowed but just one wife as we read in Quran (But if you fear that you shall not deal justly with more than one wife, then just one wife) (Sura Annisaa', verse 3).
If the husband is dealing with his wives justly and giving every wife her rights equally, none of wives has a right to object on his second marriage. She does not have a right to ask for separation or Talaq as far as he is giving her rights equally with practical justice.
If the husband is committing wrong or injustice, she can complain with authentic evidence to the Marje' of Taqleed.

Husband can prevent his wife from recommended fasting if her fasting harms his rights as husband on her as his wife. Her intention to fast will definitely brings for her the reward of intending to fast. Her obedience to her husband is another reason for her to get more reward. She can also be busy in remembering Allah (SWT) to get more reward. There are specific recitation to get the reward of fasting for those who can not fast. You can find details in books of Du'a like Mafateeh Al-Jinan.

Every one from them should act according to his knowledge. If husband is fairly sure that penetration has occurred, he then needs to perform Ghusl of Janabah because by penetration, he has become a Mujnib. If the wife is sure that penetration did not occur, then she is not in Janabah because of that foreplay unless she reaches to orgasm.
