How to take care of kids after divorce?

If I were God for one day, the first thing I would do is to make a couple fall in love so much when they decide to have a child that they will never get a divorce (or breakup since it is no longer the case that only married people have children). While divorce is hard on both partners, studies say that it is even harder on a man than a woman, and it is a traumatic experience for children, particularly if they are not adults (as is most often the case).

Divorce is also typically the end result of years of fighting and that results in a lot of bitter feelings towards each other. It is not surprising for couples to not even want to see each other's faces when one day that took the vow to be married till death (How to make your marriage work). Unfortunately, with 50% marriages ending in divorce, there is not much we can do about this reality except to discourage people in doubt about their relationship from having children in first place, but if they do, making sure that regardless of how much they hate each other, still love their children.
