In general, children in high-conflict households benefit from divorce.

Explanation:

Although divorce has recieved a lot of critics arguing the negative effects of a child being raised in a single parent household and experiencing the separation of his parents; the negative effects of living in high-conflict households are gaining stronger scientific evidence.

Characteristics of a high-conflict household, such as physical or emotional abuse, have proven to create an insecure emotional environment for the children that has severe effects in their sense of security and stability, that influence their future lives and the relationships they establish later on.
