etiquette with divorced parents

Ashbear2

It seems I have a real issue on my hands with my soon to-be-divorced parents. My mom wants to bring her boyfriend to my september wedding, but is not yet legally divorced. My parents have been seperated for 6 years but my dad is threatening to not show up at the wedding if the bf attends and ironically, if he is not allowed to attend, my mom refuses to go to the reception.

My fathers parents are paying for a majority of the wedding, and although I thought it would be inapropriate for the bf to attend in light of this, I am getting argument from my sister/moh, my mom and the bf.

What would be protocol for such a messy situation?

I am sorry that your parents are acting like children. Tell your parents that you would like them to both be there to support YOU.  I wouldn't forbid the bf.  Why does your dad care about a bf if they have been apart for 6 years?  But if they can't put their antics aside and be parents for this one day,  they only make themselves look like fools.
