I have a lot of life experience and a background in education and some counselling. The following are quotes from friends and family regarding advice I have given them in the past:
"You are so direct and to the point but not harsh."
"You have a lot of wisdom."
"You always know how to cut right to the heart of the matter."
I believe that I tell it like it is but I am also senstive to other's feelings and I am able to see things from various perspectives. Hopefully, I can help you too.

I come from divorced parents also and remember this kind of stuff from my upbringing; I know where you are coming from.
It is my opinion that because your parents aren't able to get it together, you should not be forced to pay the price. It sounds like your parents do not object in any way to you going to your cousins graduation; it is just inconvenient for them to get you there. It also sounds like they are aware of how important it is to you. Unless there is another reason they dodn't want you to go, I believe you have every right to be there.
You didn't state your age but I got the impression that you are an older teenager. If so, I recommend that you figure out a way to get to the graduation on your own. Perhaps, ask other relatives if they would be able to take you. Or, talk to your Mom about helping you with bus fair to take a Greyhound.
Good luck with it.
