Preferred term

children and divorce  

Definition

  • Unlike the majority of adults who enter divorce more or less voluntarily, for children, parental divorce is imposed upon them. Some children, particularly older ones, may have seen it coming, whereas others are completely unprepared and do not know what to expect or how to act.
