Severing the Ties of Kinship
Jubair b. Mutlim reported that his father narrated to him that Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The severer of the tie of kinship would not get into Paradise [Muslim, 6200].

assalamalikum
Wa alaikumsalaam Brother,
Yes, as Muslims, we should maintain relationship with our parents, family and relative, even if they are not Muslim and are associating partners with Allah. We must do so in a kind way, and try to help bring them to the straight path.
The following is a part of the answer taken from http://www.islamqa.com
Hence your duty towards those among your family who have fallen into such sins is to call them to refrain from this kufr and tell them that they must come back to Islam, and they should understand their situation and the Islamic ruling on their case, which is that they are apostates whose good deeds have been cancelled out.
You should realize that the fact that your mother has fallen into kufr does not mean that you should sever your relationship with her, rather you should be more concerned about it lest she die in this state.
You have to honour her and treat her kindly even if she is a kaafir and, moreover, even if she calls you to kufr and strives hard to do that, as our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents; but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship) anything (as a partner) of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not”
[al-‘Ankaboot 29:8]
