Overview of how divorce affects children

In this section we look at how divorce affects children. We consider approaches that minimise the impact and which should be considered before you proceed to separate and divorce.

The impact on children is often underestimated and it is important that both parents attempt to do their utmost to minimise the disruption and damage that can occur.
