IntroductionDivorce is the most common factor affecting families today. Even if this was not relevant twenty years ago, the spouses choose to resolve their martial discontents through divorce. About 40 to 50 percent of all first marriages and 60 percent of all second marriages end in divorce. There is a divorce every 13 seconds and approximately 46,523 divorces per week. Premarital pregnancies, living together before marriage, early marriage, financial problems and poor communications are some of the many reasons why marriages end so quickly. These numbers are not only visible today: divorce rates increased from the late 1800s through the late 1960s. However, it was not until the 1980s and 1990s that divorce rates began to skyrocket. The aim of this study is to show how the divorce process affects the child's well-being in all social aspects. This includes the relational disruptions observed between parents and their children, how their lives become socially different upon divorce, and generally the future impact of these children on our society. During a divorce, every member of the family is affected in one way or another. The truth is that most spouses and their children are not ready to deal with the emotional and physical consequences of divorce. Overall, divorce ultimately disrupts the family life cycle process, thereby adding complexity to the developmental tasks already at hand. As the configuration of the family changes, family members must adapt to new situations and new feelings. Some of these adjustments include separation and the emotional change that comes with it. However, children and adolescents alike have more difficulty adapting to such change. There is no doubt that divorce is a factor in today's society...... middle of paper ....... Np, nd Web.
