Research consistently shows that children of divorce are at greater risk for academic and behavioral problems, lower self-esteem, and psychological distress compared to children from intact homes.

Similarly, there is no definitive evidence that divorce occurring during a specific age range is more harmful than other times. Finally, there is no evidence to suggest that children who are temperamentally emotional are less affected by divorce.
