Filing for divorce by children due to continuous arguments between parents

Hello,

I was wondering is it possible for my parents to get a divorce if I (21 years) daughter filed a report against them?

They have previously split up in 2019 and went to the family guidance (the report was regarding my father's physical abuse and cheating on my mother).

My dad can’t physically abuse my mom anymore due to court rules but he has been doing it mentally & verbally almost every day now, during daylight and literally after 12 am; it doesn’t matter with him.

I started recording some of their arguments when it was clear in June but sometimes it’s not possible so I listen through my AirPods live feature in case I have to step up.

He would argue over stupid things like why she won’t go out or accuse her of cheating or money issues, etc. They don’t get along and there is hate in between everything.

My siblings and I want them to get divorced; 3 of us are 18+ while the other two are 10 & 15.

I want them to divorce or stop my dad from living with us. We are exhausted. What can I do?

Dear questioner,

The only way is to open a divorce case in court and if you are going to be a witness that will give your case more power.

For assistance, please WhatsApp us.

Can we as the children be the witnesses of our parents' case or will it be inappropriate or unconsidered?

It will help but other witnesses are required.

Dear questioner,

Ask your mother to register a police case with you supporting her, and then file a divorce case against your father.

Hi,

Children don't have any right to interfere in any way in the divorce matter of his/ her parents. Since the marriage takes place between a husband and wife, the law gives the right only to them to file for divorce.

Since it is affecting all of you, you can try to convince your mother for filing a divorce.
