What happens when a family is divided?
When a marriage ends the family dynamic changes and the spouses and children often face a flood of stressful decisions and situations they must face. Some major changes are living arrangements, parenting schedules, children's emotional stability and finances.
Children who experience divorce often have an increase in antisocial behavior, anxiety, and depression.

Divorce can be a difficult time for a family. When parents divorce, the effects of divorce on children can vary. Some children react to divorce in a natural and understanding way, while other children may struggle with the transition.
Children are resilient and with assistance the divorce transition can be experienced as an adjustment rather than a crisis. Since the children in a divorce vary (different personalities, different ages), the effects of divorce on children vary.
