The effects of recent enlargement in divorce rates are negative effects. Most couples normally have children when they get married. As a result, divorces can directly have an effect on children. Children living in single parent families are more probably to get pregnant as teenagers, drop out of high school, abuse drugs and have aggressively emotional and behavioral problems, which lead to social problems. Some children decide to go out of their home when their parents separate from each other, and subsequently they become homeless children.

Abstract Divorce is painful and confusing for children. How a parent handles it determines a lot about how the child will be affected, both today and tomorrow. After a parents’ divorce children are the primary concern. These concerns have derived from research evidence that divorce has many costs to them. Research reveals that balanced against the benefits that might derive from the end of a parents’ conflicted marriage, children often pay the price of a significantly reduced standard of living, emotional pain, and the loss of important parenting relationships in the immediate aftermath of divorce.

Long term deprivation is describes the loss of a formed attachment between a child and caregiver, over a long period of time. Separation, death and divorce are examples of long term deprivation, which could result in depression or intellectual retardation, as demonstrated by Bowlby’s study on 44 Thieves. Other effects include anger, stress, detachment, higher rate of behaviour problems, and a low socio-economic status. Bowlby’s study also shows that the effects of long term deprivation are irreversible, as the boys internalised their situation with time, and showed difficulties in forming another attachment. This stresses the importance of attachment, and therefore the negative impact long term deprivation has on children.

The impact divorce has on the family is more prominent to the children than their parents. Divorce leads to a massive change into the life of boys or girls no matter what the age.

They may have more responsibility placed on them. The divorce can also cause an unhappy environment for the children.
