Being in the middle of an ugly divorce is not easy.
Your parents are both probably stressed out just as much as you but they should be doing the right thing and looking out for your welfare.
I would talk to your teachers and let them know what is going on. It would be good for you to talk about what is going on and I'm sure they will give you an extended deadline to turn in your assignments.
Try to wait until your parents are in a good mood and either talk as a family or one on one and see what is going on.
Your friends will probably be supportive as well. You should see the school guidance counselor as well maybe they can help you out.
I Am with lisa b that is what i would have said
I'm so sorry things in your life are so screwed up right now, and that you don't have much power in the situation. It must be really, really hard to be in your situation. Just remember that even when you can't be with your friends, there are people out in the world that you don't even know of, like me, who are thinking of you and wishing the best for you.
Everything changes and your life will get better and different. You will be happy again. Take control of the the things you can control, like hanging in with your friends, getting your assignments done on time, doing the things you enjoy and maybe doing something for someone else in need.
It'll be better before you know it. Good luck to you and I'll be thinking of you.
I am sorry you are going through such a hard time right now. You are grieving and that is a totally normal response to what you are going through. You are facing multiple losses right now, and it is understandable that you feel sad. But it is not the same as depression. Grief can eventually become depression if you try to ignore your sadness, but if you allow yourself to grieve, to cry, talk with your friends, and find creative ways to express your sadness, then it probably won't turn into depression.
Talk to your teachers about what is going on. I think you might find them to be understanding. If that doesn't work, try talking to your guidance counsellor at school. Things are rough right now, and they probably will be for awhile, but you will get through this.
Seems like you are having a hard time. Look at logically. You can do nothing or you can do something.
Be brave. Ask both your parents to a meeting with all of you there. Make it a meeting, not a family meal. You be the adult, because they are not being very adult-like. If you have an older sister or brother, get them to do this.
At the meeting, tell them both how you feel. It's both there behaviors and actions that are upsetting you. They have to change that behavior.
Ask them if they can try to talk to each other about what is upsetting them both. Tell them to go out for a coffee and see if they can get to the bottom of their problems. Don't try to solve their problems for them. Only they can do that.
. Even suggest to them it might be time to bring in a third party for helping them sort things out. Don't know how old you are, and this is a big thing to do, but maybe its the only thing you can do.
Good luck
