I have thought it through and there are no minuses to them getting the divorce considering my mom is making all the income and its MORE than enough. But my reason for this is b/c he is abusive and un-needed

Answer 1

You need to talk to your mother to see why she still stays with him because she may feel that she is doing for so that you and your sister have a father, poor as he may be as one. If she is suffering from lack of self esteem, which many abused women are, both you and your sister have to say things to her to raise that up. If you have marks on you from him you can call the police and have him arrested for domestic violence but it will be better if you convince her to throw him out, or support you when you call the police to have him removed. Tell your mother that she is teaching your sister that it is all right for a man to abuse his wife and children unless she stands up to the man and gets him out and that may make her take action if she didn't realize that. you need to get him out of there but it will be better if your mother does that than you, so work on her about doing that. Good luck to you!!

Answer 2

There is no such thing as divorcing one's parents. However there is Emanicpation...but you have to be able to prove that you are capable of being on your own. You have to have a job and show that you can pay for all of your bills, all of your needs. You will be totally repsonsible for yourself, your parents will no longer have to support you and they will no longer be held accountable for anything you do that might be against the law. If you are ever arrested before you turn 18 you will be placed in to JAIL and not Juvenille detention and will be tried as an adult. As far as divorce, that would be up to your mother to divorce her abusive husband.

Answer 3

You dont need to get a legal divorce....You just have to notify the authorities of the abuse. Why your mother puts up with it, is one thing, but you dont have to. Speak to the Police....speak with child services. Maybe when you take these steps it may make your mother really take notice of just how bad it is for you.

Answer 4

Your mother knows how much she can take and when enough is enough. All you can do is wait till you are of age to move out on your own. That goes for your sister as well. If your father hits your mom, you or your sister, then you should call the police on him. -Good luck.

Answer 5

Shouldn't this be between your parents? Your mom should be the one to be making the decision of divorcing your abusive dad. If you want to divorce both your parents, that's a different situation altogether.

Answer 6

Report it to the police. It sounds brutal and relationship-tearing. However, you can always get family therapy, ask the officers to look at it from YOUR TRUE point of view, or if you really want him out of your life, then get a restraining order (if need be!)

Good luck! You'll need it! (Might want to do this on the down low though)

Answer 7

If there is real physical abuse from only your dad, you should report it to child services and the police.

Answer 8

Maybe you can talk to your parents about family counseling. I think that you might benefit from it as well. The counseling may not fix what's broken with your family, but it might open your mother's eyes to the fact that she needs to move on.

Answer 9

Sad to hear that but there is not much you can do unless your mom wants to get a divorce from him.
