Welcome to Yahoo! answers (first day!).
Uh, it totally screws them up for life.
The only time it's "good" for the children is if the screwing up from the divorce is less than the screwing up they're getting from all the fighting.
There's no way to get around the fact that they'll probably be talking about this to a therapist someday. And, it will certainly give a higher probability that they'll have a divorce themselves someday. They are at higher risk of virtually every social ill that happens to teens -- see the URL below.
Worse yet, the economics of the situation mean they won't live as well since the same income will need to pay for 2 households, and will have to pay for the legal bills.
When you get remarried, then they'll have to live with a step parent. When you get divorced again (second marriages are notorious for not working out) then they'll have to do that all over again.

of course they are..they see you fight and lose control and they think it's their fault sometimes...and they only know what they see. If children grow up with one parent it does not nessacerily mean that the child is going to be screwed up..it depends on the parents. how involved they are, how much attention they give the child and how much time they spend with the child and let the child know that they r there for them. it so happens when there is a divorce...the parents r in thier own world and are always angry or saying bad things about the other parent in front of the child. or going out on dates and not giving attention to the child.
It;s very very important that in the event of a divorce the child feels loves from both parents and know that you are going to be there for them. depending on the age, let them know what has happend and be supportive. Raise them the right way..diciplining is very improtant at this time also.

It depends on their age and home environment. If the parents are constantly fighting in front of the children, the children may fear the uncertainty posed by a divorce, but will be better off in a home without the hostility.

any major changes in kids' lives especially divorce will affect everything.depending on the family and how things are handled at the breakup time will vary,but seeking counciling for parents and kids may help ease the transition time.

for most children their whole life is ruined because, they will only stay with one of their parents.
