Kid gloves are very soft (kid is a young goat), so when the put on the kid gloves, they are going to handle you delicately, instead of being rough and harsh.

Since this is in the Marriage and Divorce section I assume it has to do with the family and possibly divorce. This phrase is misused by the Politicians as an excuse to get away with stuff all the time for thier ulterior motives. This phrase is also used during conversations about Divorce. It refers to the fact that the adults in divorce are not helpless and did this to them selves and they can take care of themselves but, the kids are helpless and need to have thier best interests considered by the courts because it isn't alwyas done by parents when they are dealing with the emotional strains of divorce.

it means to treat someone gently. kid gloves are very soft. "kid" does not mean a human child; it is a kind of very soft leather.

Be somewhat nice, don't "hit too hard," soften your criticism.
The kid gloves refers to those thick mittens which are really difficult to do anything with, but are extra padded.
