I found a wonderful Children's Bill of Rights for Divorce. It's a great guide to how your parent's should respect you:
Every child whose parents divorce has:
- The right to love and be loved by both of your parents without feeling guilt
or disapproval.
- The right to be protected from your parents' anger with each other.
- The right to be kept out of the middle of your parents' conflict, including
the right not to pick sides, carry messages, or hear complaints about the other
parent.
- The right not to have to choose one of your parents over the other.
- The right not to have to be responsible for the burden of either of your
parents' emotional problems.
- The right to know well in advance about important changes that will affect
your life; for example, when one of your parents is going to move or get
remarried.
- The right to reasonable financial support during your childhood and through
your college years.
- The right to have feelings, to express your feelings, and to have both
parents listen to how you feel.
- The right to have a life that is a close as possible to what it would have
been if your parents stayed together.
- The right to be a kid.
Here's where I found it:
