I guess we all know that divorce is a very traumatizing experience for children, yet it still happens, and people have to deal with it. In many cases, the children's time gets divided between the mother and the father: they spend certain days of the week with each parent. Do you think it is beneficial for the child? Especially if both parents remarry?

I think divorce does some kind of harm to the child either way, but it's important that the child sees both parents. The child needs to know that they are still loved even if both parents don't live in the same house anymore.

Yeah, no child feels happy to see their parents divorce. But in certain situations it's better for them than watching their parents quarrel everyday. I hope though the parents divorce, the children' wealth is always taken care.

A friend of mine had gotten divorced (not her decision but her husband's), and her two kids went between two homes all the time. I don't think it was good for them, and it certainly was not good for the mother. Whatever rules she had established were dismissed at the father's house; he cared about nothing and allowed the kids all kinds of things the mother would be against of.

I think in some cases it is much better to just end things when divorce happens. Out of sight, out of mind, so to speak. If you don't want to live with us as a family and be the kids' father, then get out and don't mess with them.

No matter what kind of arrangement you have with the spouse, divorce seems to do something to the children. It's good for the children to see both parents together, treating each other lovingly because it has a big effect on the kind of adults they will become.

Yes, I think this is the best thing you can do for your children - to give them an example of a strong, loving family, where dad respects mom and mom always backs up dad, they truly care for each other and work as a team. When raised in such a family, children will want to have the same when they grow up and get married, too.

Divorce is hard for children, but a child does need two parents.

Both parents need to act like adults and come to a fix schedule that is not changes all the time, to get the kids into a good routine. Both parents also have to agree rules and boundaries and stick to them, just like they would if they were still living together.

I've heard of a practice called nesting where one parent will live in the home with the children for a few days and the other parent finds a temporary place to live, and then they switch every few days. It's supposed to give the children a sense of normalcy.
