Is a son considered disobedient and sinful towards his parents if he refuses to divorce his pregnant wife at the request of his father, who also refuses to take responsibility for the grandchildren and refuses to transfer from his job or resign from it, given his financial obligations and debts?

Obedience to parents is not obligatory in divorcing one's wife if she is righteous and religious, especially if he has children with her. Nor is their obedience obligatory in matters where they derive no benefit, or which cause harm to the child. If a parent becomes angry without just cause, this is not considered disobedience. Nevertheless, one should strive to gain their رضا (رضا) as much as possible.
