For example, they must know where they will be living and going to school. Also, they need to know, in an appropriate way, why the parents are divorcing. They don't need to have the details. You will understand when you are older. Children need to be told what the future holds for them.
Children also worry about their parents.
They worry about whether the absent parent is being fed, who cooks for him and if he has a place to sleep. They worry about where that parent is because they feel that he or she has vanished. They must be given a commitment as to when they will see that parent again. They visiting parent should also bring the child to his or her new place of residence as soon as possible so that the child can inspect the physical setup of that parent's new home. The visiting should also explain to the child how he gets his or her daily meals.
