The short answer is no. The only things you can do are: 1. In a mature manner, ask to go to family counseling. 2. Stop doing whatever you've been doing that caused the divorce. Best of luck. Answer No, it's not up to you.

Keep in mind that it is extremely rare for a teen to have much fault in it when their parents divorce. They may FEEL responsible, but the truth is that it's normally exclusively a matter of what is going on between the parents.

Wanting parents to get divorced to make your life easier sounds rather selfish. Certainly if the conflict between the parents is making your life hard, it may seem like an easy solution to the problem, but you may be unpleasantly surprised to find out that it doesn't necessarily improve things.
Divorce is tricky and its never the fault of the child or children. Adults usually get divorced to solve a problem that cant be fixed. There is an issue up for debate that adults who "should" get divorced only stay together for the children (at least till they get old enough to understand the complexity of the problems they face and to, ultimately, approve of the divorce). Its hard on parents when children disagree and its often a fear of divorcing adults to guess how the children will react to or adjust to the divorce. Its possible that a teenager's parents might stay together for the sake of the teenager or until the child becomes old enough to understand the problem at hand. So in some instances, children can prevent a divorce. But in almost all instances as well, children cannot solve the problem which means both parents would have to live their lives unhappily. The best thing you can do as a teenager or child of separated or dueling parents is to be supportive. Neither of your parents will love you any less if a divorce does occur. Your parents will do what is best for you (as a child) with their interest at hand as well. Its a difficult decision for most.

Can a teenager file for a divorce from one parent?
In most cases, a teenager cannot file for divorce from a parent. Family law typically grants parental rights to the married couple, not to the child, so the teenager would not have legal standing to file for divorce. However, if there are exceptional circumstances of abuse or neglect, the teenager may be able to seek legal emancipation from a parent with the help of a lawyer.

Do you need a legal agreement to cover parental input to a house deposit?
Absolutely, and depending on the circumstances. If parents help provide part of the down payment and they do not consider it a gift there should be a signed promissory note. Also, there should be a signed agreement between the owners that the parents' help will be reflected in a division of the property in case of a divorce if that is a concern.Absolutely, and depending on the circumstances.

What advice can you give me to help my grandchildren deal with the divorce of their parents?
The most important thing you can do for your grandchildren as they deal with their parent' divorce is to offer them your time. Depending on the age of the children, and the "messiness" of the divorce, your reaction and advice could take various paths. You can offer overnights at your home, where you focus on building happy family memories. You should never denigrate either parent, but help your grandchildren see the good parts of each parent. You can help them feel that divorce is not such an abnormal event, and can show them examples of people who "survived" their parents' divorce to go on to have good relationships and happy families.
