Divorce can really affect kids' mental health. It can lead to different emotional and behavior problems.

Here's what research has found about children with divorced parents:

• They are twice as likely to have mental health issues compared to kids whose parents are together.
• They face a 40% higher chance of feeling anxious or depressed.
• They often do worse in school, with 25% of kids from divorced families having a tough time in their studies.

Additionally, one study shows that 1 in 3 children from divorced homes show developmental issues by the time they are 15 years old. This points to how divorce can have long-lasting effects on kids' overall health and happiness.
