Divorce can affect children in ways you cannot foresee. For those children who are or have been a part of a divorce, the following implications arise:

1) Mis-perception on marriage
2) Increased incidence of divorcing when they do marry
3) Mental instability
4) Hatred towards their opposite gender

Of course, there are other factors that can come into play, but those are just a few.
