Introduction
Divorce is a heavy decision making between couples, this situation becomes even more complicated when their children get involved. As divorce has become more and more common is this society, it is necessary to study the negative effects on children in divorce family. Since many children do not adjust their life well after their parents gets divorced. Life becomes more stressful because of the economic loss and the loss of their parents. Therefore, divorces of parents cause many bad effects on their children.

(Stahl1) The author’s name is Phlip M. Stahl. He is the forensic psychologist in private practice living in Maricopa County, Arizona. He has various experiences on consultation and witness testimony in child custody litigation in America. Also he is continuing education for attorney, judges and psychologists. (American Bar Associate) There are no links or references to show the origin of facts and quotes. The website is based on author’s experience of his study so I think the author has bias on divorce actually effect children’s life negatively. (Stahl1) The word and phrase does play to my emotion or bas toward this article, especially when it mention about when you taking to a kid who parents just get divorce, you should avoid question about their parent, instead you should focus on children’s activities, friendships , schooling and share information what is going on in our life. (Stahl1)I notice that, so many people forget about actually those children are fragile and they are suffering from parents’ divorce. From the content of the article, I can’t see there is any advertisement or bias on selling particular product rather than providing objective information. The article is published on a magazine so I cannot determine the domain of the website.
