Divorced Kid: Stories from the 1970s Divorce Revolution

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-10-08 07:24

Minnesota Public Radio had a decent piece about a month ago on how divorce impacts kids. It sugarcoats things a bit by leaving the real meat of the story — the various studies that show the harmful effects of divorce on kids — to the end of the broadcast. It does cover them though.

My question is this: With more and more studies coming to light about just how harmful divorce really is to kids, and with mothers being responsible for initiating the vast majority of divorces, how can courts continue to claim with a straight face that mothers are "acting in the best interests of the children?"
