Khula خلع is a type of Islamic Talaq which is practiced when the wife does not like to continue with her husband as gives him an amount to make him give her divorce. If the husband does not agree, then there is no Khula unless you go to the Islamic authority (Marje; of Taqleed) and prove to him that there injustice or danger on you from this marriage, which makes the Marje' follow the procedure of enforced Talaq which has many stages.
I advise you to try to reach to agreement between you and your husband and avoid breaking your marriage.
