    First, it is good to acknowledge that some degree of stress is unavoidable. Your divorce will be a major life change for them, after all, and changes are scary. Plus, their response will also be tied up in whatever their view of divorce is, assuming they are old enough to be familiar with the concept.

    That said, one large reason why changes are scary is that they open the doors to the unknown. You can mitigate that issue by talking to your kids, explaining what will happen, and — when you don’t know for sure — going over what is likely to happen. Who is going to move out? Is the family moving to a different house? Will the kids have to change schools? They may not ask these questions immediately, but they’ll wonder about them sooner or later.

    If you haven’t already, it may be wise to sit down with a custody attorney before breaking the news. This way you can speak to them already having a better sense of what the result of divorce and custody negotiations will likely be.

Divorce

Broken families. We can't easily figure out who are the products of divorced parents. Primarily, the most affected is the children. Imagine yourself going to a family day at school without a complete family to cling to. You can see other children playing with their dad and mom. Some ask you where your dad or your mom is. What are you doing to say? Divorce gives the couple their freedom to be single again after fallig out of love as it is their human rights to be happy. Unfortunately, this doesn't consider the emotional effects to the children. Thus, for hat marriage vows are when there's divorce?
