Divorce legally ends a marriage and dissolves the legal bonds between spouses, allowing them to remarry. While once uncommon, divorce is now more common in Western countries. Divorce has long been accepted in some societies like Japan and the Muslim world. Children often suffer negative impacts from divorce like feeling shock, losing confidence, spending more unsupervised time, and developing anger toward parents. Causes of divorce include lack of employment and money issues, high cost of living standards, and personality incompatibilities between spouses.
