Divorce and its Effects on Children DIVORCE AND ITS EFFECTS ON CHILDREN The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of divorce on children. I did not choose the topic of divorce simply because my parents are divorced. Rather, I am interested in understanding divorce as a prevalent element that will continue to greatly shape our society, along with our values. Even though I know first hand the extent to which children’s lives change after a divorce, there remain many aspects unexplored. Personally, I am curious to explore long term effects of divorce, though I find the other more immediate effects interesting as well as. Being the product of parents who divorced, I felt that I personally understood the extent in which divorce affects children. It is a common belief in our society that divorce causes children to spend far less time with one or even both of the parents. I can recall the frustration that the poorly planned court ordered visitation would cause. I often felt as if I spent more time being driven back and forth between my parents’ homes, than the time I actually spent seeing them.
