YOU do nothing. This isn't about you and they can't - and shouldn't base their future on just you. Perhaps you think that they should stay together because that is what you know and what you would prefer, but if they simply cannot -if it is not going to work, then the best thing for everyone (including you) is for them to divorce and find a new way of relating to one another.
Your mother will always be your mother.
Your father will always be your father.
You will always be their son.
And the love they have for you will not change if they get divorced.
It is a hard, hard row to hoe - being a child of divorced parents. But you can serve it best by refusing to take sides (hopefully they won't put pressure on your to do that) and continuing to love and maintain a relationship with both parents.
That is all you can - or should - do.

Two things for you to know....
1) You can't stop your parents from getting divorced. This is something between two people that they have to resolve.
2) Their problems were not caused by you nor does it mean that your parents do not love you. I'm sure your parents love you and one of the reasons they are still fighting is that they are still trying to find a way to make things work.
When they quit fighting... they will either be together still... or the divorce is going to happen soon. Let them know you love them both and that you will continue to do so no matter what happens.
Hope this helps.

You cannot make them do something that they don't want to do. If they get divorced it will be tough on you but you will deal with it in time. If two people are unhappy and can't make it work then a divorce may be best for them. There is not much you can do but pray for a good resolution to their problems.

As much as it hurts to think your parents aren't getting along, you have to remember that it's between them. Their fighting has nothing to do with you, and it's not your fault.
Imagine you having a girlfriend and when you want to break up with her, your parents tried to stop it. It'd be a little intrusive, right?
Just remember that although your parents may not like each other right now, they still love each other, and they love you.
If you're that distressed about your parents, maybe talk to them and see if they're interested in counselling. Otherwise, just try your best to be there for both of your parents in a difficult time.

Mom and Dad have a seperate relationship with each other. You can't stop a divorce or even cause it. As painful as it will be,it is still better to stop living with somebody who causes you pain.

Step back. They have to work this out themselves. You can't control what they do or how they feel about each other. It doesn't have anything to do with how they feel about you. Besides, just because they are having a fight (which IMO they shouldn't be doing in front of you anyway), it doesn't mean that they are getting a divorce.

You can't stop your parents from getting a divorce. They just don't love each other anymore and it may be for the best in the long run. Believe me i know. You are just to going to have to accept it and move on. It will make you stronger and in the end.

Ask either your mom or dad [whoever you are closest to] if he or she will do just one thing, just for you. Ask if your parent [maybe both if they are willing] to see a counselor before filing for a divorce. I'm not saying it will work, but in my case, I found out that my spouse has a disorder that has been causing problems and the counselor is helping me sort things out. I would not have done this if my son had not asked me to do that one thing.

You don't get a 'baby' husky, you get a husky puppy, and if you are that young and inexperienced then a husky is not the dog for you. A husky is a true working breed and needs to do just that to be contented. So do you have the knowledge to train the dog and can you run it for miles per day... or... are you at school most of the day as I would assume. Reconsider your breed first of all.

try to get them to understand what effect this decision will have on U. if u really mean a lot to them (like ur their most precious thing) then that should keep them together. divine intercession is always a must in these situations as well.
the reason why its ur mom who is getting the divorce is that women r just naturally more emotional.
good luck!
