Living with dogs inside a house

Q: My wife is a revert Muslimah masha Allah and she prays salah daily. Her parents are not Muslims and we do not live with them. Her parents have two dogs. I know that dogs are najis and haram. My question is that her parents are going to England for 5 days and they asked my wife to be in their home for 5 days because nobody is there to look after their dog by giving it food etc. My wife asked me if we can stay in their home for 5 days. The dog lives inside their home so what I should do? 

Marital issues

Q: Is it wrong for me to stay away from my wife because she will not wear hijab? I told her that she should wear hijab nicely and I encourage her by teaching her how important it is. After I realized that she does not want to change, I stopped seeing her.

Also, before marriage she told me that she would do it. Alhumduallah I have changed a lot since marriage and I don't want to support her sins as I am responsible for it. Since I stopped seeing her, she got upset and now she likes to ignore me at times.

Also is it wrong for her to be very close to and hang out with her male cousins? She also sends them pictures without hijab daily with sweet text messages. I asked her to stop and she won't. 

Issuing a talaaq for legal reasons

Q: My sister got married and after few months her husband ran away to a neighbouring country for some political reason. She was pregnant and got a baby. After two years waiting, he couldn't come back but the only way was she has to follow him. But because she is the wife of that man, the country's law doesn't allow her to leave anywhere unless she is divorced from him so they made an agreement and he sent her a divorce letter. The question is, is their marriage accepted or not?

Different pronunciations in the istikhaara dua

If not, which one is correct, daal with a dhamma or kasra in both places?
