Why do parents not get divorced?

That depends on many things. They may stay together for their children, so that the kids don't have to make a lot of choices such as: who's house do we stay at, how long do we stay at each house, who gets custody, who gets to claim them on their income taxes, etc etc. People might want to avoid all the hassle of getting a divorce. There can also be an emotional side to it, for example some parents might think it sets the worst possible example of marriage to their children if they get divorced. Some believe that the children of divorced parents become more likely to get a divorce themselves. Finally, the parents might hold off on a divorce in hopes that they can resolve their differences and become less incompatible.

How Do You Know What Nationally You are?

Nationality should be an easy concept - it is the country of your birth, so long as your parents are legal citizens of that country.Things get more complex when the parents are not legally citizens of the country their child is born in (this has happened in the cases of children born to a parent serving overseas in the armed forces, for example). Illegal immigrants can not claim nationality in a country they should not be residing in; children born to parents who are overseas on holiday can also present problems.
