Divorce causes a lot of stress in the lives of many people; According to the American Psychological Association, in the United States, approximately 40 to 50 percent of married couples divorce. For most parents, missing their children on weekends, holidays and vacations can be very stressful; parents often worry about what the other parent says to the child and whether the other parent is around the child. In the event of a divorce, there will most likely be increased financial stress for one or both spouses. Perhaps the house, cars, accounts and maybe dogs could be split between the two parties; it may prove beneficial for someone, but both individuals will inherit undeserved stress. Knowing as a parent that children are likely to suffer from being removed from their natural environment causes pain in a loving parent; More importantly, the stress this causes in a child can be unbearable. The decision to cancel a marriage can be very chaotic and traumatic for all parties.
