Claim: According to studies, children affected by divorce at an early age will show effects later in life such as cherishing home or parenting their own child early.
Evidence: This study reported that children who lose a parent are usually able to attain the same level of happiness that they had before the death, whereas children of divorced parents often are not able to attain the same level of happiness that they had before the divorce. A child affected by divorce at an early age will show effects later in life. They may make premature transitions to adulthood such as leave home or parent their own child early.
