Answer 2

Divorce is the legal end to a marriage.

The effects of divorce are varied according to circumstances. My parents divorced when I was already an adult and living on my own; while it was and still is occasionally upsetting, it would have been far more traumatic had I still lived with them. I think most often children feel displaced, and I know that most children of divorce have doubts about the wiseness of marrying someone today.

Sometimes, though, divorce is best for the whole family. If two parents fight constantly, for example, I think it is better for the children to have separated parents who are happy than to have married parents who are miserable and at each others' throats all the time.

Answer 3

What is divorce? It is the legal dissolution of a marriage between two people.

How does it affect children? It completely depends. If the couple are unable to control their fights in front of the children, or if there is abuse of any sort (alcohol, drugs or each other), or if there is blatant hatred or animosity, the divorce can actually be better for children than the actual marriage.

That being said, I have to say that our children look to us for everything, including how to love and live their lives as adults. Divorce teaches children that love can be temporary.

I believe that when a marriage starts to "turn," good parents will do everything in their power to keep it whole. Teach children how to resolve conflict - to compromise - to respect others.

Love doesn't just die. It goes through phases. Too many people decide that the marriage they ended up with isn't what they signed up for. Instead of working together to make it into something that may not be what they envisioned when they were younger, but can still be sacred and loving, they decide to move on.

What they forget is that the problems were never created wholly by the other person, and their part of the problem will go with them into their next relationship.

I get so angry at my DH sometimes. Really really angry. And I think, "Dammit, I just need to *end* this crap." And then I think immediately of how nuts my daughters go when Daddy's car pulls into the driveway and I am humbled into realizing that whatever anger I have is something that I am responsible for. I can work with my DH to resolve whatever problem there is - and I can show my children that while sometimes mommy and daddy argue, they also make up. They prioritize - and our children are our priority. So we muddle through our problems and ultimately resolve them.

Children who watch conflict and then conflict resolution are far better off, IMO, than children who watch conflict being resolved by leaving. I think it teaches a dangerous lesson and leaves many of these kids unable to really trust anyone later. That's my experience.

Answer 4

Divorce is simply a contract that deletes the marriage contract.
The children are always effected in some way or another. Hopefully the parent's or at least one of the parent's will put great effort into the child's ability to understand and live in a productive environment. Practice "active listening" with a child in a divorced family. It is hard on them and it is the adults responsibility to focus on their needs along with your own.

Answer 5

Divorce is the separation from a married couple. There are lots of effects on children actually.

1. The children (At young age), will not get a good advice from the adults.

2. They will mostly have a bad education or maybe don't go to schools because nobody take care of them!

3. They will feel sad and lonely when reached at the age of teenager because they feel ashame of having broken parents'

Answer 6

Divorce is severing the earthly legal ties of matrimony as well as rescinding on a vow that two people made before witnesses and God that they would be committed to, loyal and faithful to, and in service to each other until they died.

There are rare cases when God will see a divorce as valid--if there has been adultery, e.g.

There are numerous cases when the law of the land will see a divorce as valid.

In general, children are made miserable by divorce. Sometimes they tend to blame themselves. The breaking-apart of their home is traumatic, in general.

Sometimes--rarely--children are relieved by divorce, if they are separated from a violent, abusive parent, e.g. But it takes time for them in any event. That is, many children, even if they want to be relieved of abuse, still love their parents, and tend to feel all sorts of conflicting stuff about being separated from a parent.

Answer 7

Divorce can have a negative impact on kids. It does not have to. It depends on how the parents deal with it and how they speak about the other when in the present of the kids...it also depends on what the issues were leading to the divorce...to group all divorces together (as with group anything all inclusive as I have said on here many times) is not a good idea...their are many examples of divorces that are handled positively and that helps to reduce the impact on all the parties involved and yes the kids are involved parties.

Answer 8

Divorce is the legal end of a marriage. Generally not good for children. But sometimes it is better for all involved. It just depends on the situation.

Answer 9

Divorce is the legal nullification of Marriage. It sucks. It has a negative effect on children and should only be done in extreme cases.

Answer 10

legally it is the dissolving of a marriage, although those with kids technically divorce when they split.... the effects on kids veries from family to family and how the parents do it.... if they are nice about it and reasure the kids and both parents stay involved, then the kids cope just fine.... if they are mean and fight and turn the kids against each other, then the kids become screwed up....
