2.  Marriage is an essential institution in most societies. It is a life event that
results in the formation of a couple and resultant offspring.
 Literature from the West illustrates the effects of divorce on children and
families. Attitudes toward divorce have changed in India, and the rates of
divorce have increased over the years, but research on the subject is sparse.
 Divorce introduces a massive change into the life of a boy or girl no matter
what the age. Witnessing loss of love between parents, having parents break
their marriage commitment, adjusting to going back and forth between two
different households, and the daily absence of one parent while living with the
other, all create a challenging new family circumstance in which to live. In the
personal history of the boy or girl, parental divorce is a watershed event. The
life that follows is significantly changed from how life was before.

6.  Try to keep it as amicable as possible. For the sake of the kids,
keep the fighting and arguing to a minimum.
 Keep your obligations. If you agreed to meet somewhere or pick
up the kids or help in any way, do it.
 Don’t talk trash. It’s immature, hurtful, and entirely unnecessary to
say nasty things about your ex to your child.
 Talk to your kids about the future. Let them know that the divorce
won’t put their plans on hold or hold them back.
 Take care of yourself — maintain your appearance and try not to
break down. Your adolescent child needs you to be strong right
now — they’re going through a lot, too.
 Continue to be a parent. It’s tempting to shower your kid with gifts
and avoid situations where you have to discipline them. They don’t
need a pal right now — they need guidance.
