How is divorce possitive to children?

Question

im doing an argument paper on divorce and i need a few ideas about how is divorce good for children.

Answer 1

being in that situation myself, the only thing i could say is a real positive is that my daughter doesn't see all of the fighting between us. all she see's is a couple of best friends that happen to have a child together. my ex and i actually have a good relationship now. we just let my daughter know that we are so blessed to have her. also she gets double the presents from christmas and her birthday.

Answer 2

If its an abusive marriage then there are so many reasons why a divorce would be good for the children. Children are like sponges and as they watch someone get abused mentally or physically repeatedly it break them down as well. Granite abuse can be done by either partner and the long term affects can cause serious problems for the children as the get older and handle things.

Answer 3

In cases of abuse especially, it can be better - but in many cases, if the parents would both humble themselves, act like adults, and do what is best for the kids, our coutries divorce rate would be a lot lower. To many people today get divorced because they think they fall out of love - when the truth is that love is a decision/choice. And being in a stable family with two parents is always best for the child.

Answer 4

If the parents are verbal physically and mentally abuse to the children or themselves divorce is good for the children. If one of the parents are withdrawn from the kids that is very difficult to children. sexual abuse divorce is a must. Put like this anything that can cause danger aor damage to the children now or later divorce is a must. Because that are in your care and you must protect them that can't protect themselves. God bless you

Answer 5

It depends on the situation. Here are my reasons:

1. Abuse by either parents, whether commited against the children or one of the parents.

2. If there is constant arguing that the parents can't control, and you don't want to put the kids through that anymore.

3. Love-less marriage; not a good teaching tool for the children. We don't want a future full of love-less relationships.

Good luck on your paper! :)

Answer 6

If the child's parents were always fighting, a divorce ends the fighting. If the child always knew that his parents weren't suited then it makes more sense to him that they should be separate. When his parents are happier, they pay more attention to him and give him more quality time. It teaches a child that life doesn't always work out the way you want it to, but that when you make a mistake it's okay to admit it and move on. I hope this helps.

Answer 7

If the marriage is really bad, then divorce is positive for children. They don't have to witness the fighting and tension in the house.

Its better for them to be with one peaceful parent than two unhappy parents. They may replicate the same thing in their life later.

Answer 8

Children are traumatized by warring couple. A divorce will be the salvation for the unfortunate children.

Answer 9

My husband abused me verbally by calling me a b itch, c unt, dog, ni ggger, and what not.

Now my son will grow up respecting women, black people and ME!!!!

Its always best to avoid having children with the wrong people, but DO NOT compound the issue by staying in a bad situation.

My son now sees my ex on weekends and we don't mention each other to him.

Answer 10

It's good if the parents were fighting all the time and did not get along because that is an unhealthy environment for a child.
