Dissolution is a legal process and how it will affect the children of the marriage is largely based on how parents interact with each other on a daily basis. In short, each divorce is unique in the same way each family is unique. Parents should consider the ramifications of their actions outside of meetings with attorneys just as carefully as they sign the documents. Children are observant by nature and how they perceive their parents interacting with each other when they disagree may have long-term consequences.
