As well as this, not only the partners are affected in divorce- children whose parents divorced often demonstrate anti-social behaviour, drug and alcohol abuse and behavioural issues, and in one study, out of the divorced parent’s children asked, 65% of GCSE age children said that their parents split ting harmed their results, and 44% of A level age children their levels had suffered. It’s shown that 1 in 10 partners get divorced before their child’s 5th birthday.
