Talk:Effects of divorce

message: I don't know how to flag this as biased; I hope someone can.  The repeated statement that all children of divorced parents are by definition from unhappy families is logically absurd.  (2009)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.51.245.45 (talk) 03:38, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree. This is a very opinionated article with little real substantiation.
This article seems well written to me. The article is about the implications of divorce and sites many references. I can find no factual errors. Perhaps you were looking for information on the positive effects of divorce? I can't think of any with the exception of the one mentioned in this article where there is extreme physical or emotional abuse.
It says 'These facts are often not discussed openly or discussed in professional papers, as it does appear to diminish the valiant and successful efforts of many single parents, whether that has been initiated by divorce or widow(er)hood.' without citation.  Right wing indeed. - Picklefork April 26 2007
The article makes divorce sound like a life ending change.  My parents divorced when I was twelve.  If they hadn't divorce and my mother had not remarried to great man, I would never know what or how a proper relationship would work.  I feel I'm a stronger, better person because of their divorce and I have never seen both my parents happier than where they are now.  I beleive my situation is like many out there. - Jack (May 3, 2007)
I have to agree with Jack  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.252.160.20 (talk) 19:46, August 24, 2007 (UTC) 
I removed a particularly opinionated paragraph about the cost of divorce to society. I agree that this article lacks real sources for the claims it makes. Arguing that professional papers do not discuss these issues because it's sensitive is like saying professional papers do not discuss evolution because it's sensitive to religious people. I don't believe this is true until you can convince me with solid research. Alkas (talk) 19:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And there was me thinking that the article was a little biased on the pro-divorce side, particularly because, perhaps the next talker, Cletonares, has added the "unhappy" "happy" distinction through out the article. This seems like original research. Is it clear that all divorced families are unhappy? Well of course they are otherwise they would not get divorced? I don't think that this stands to reason. It could be the case that all families are somewhere in the middle, and the major difference between divorcing and non divorcing families is a lack of belief, resolve or commitment. If the "all divorced families are unhappy," assertion does not stand to reason then it constitutes original research. --Timtak (talk) 00:32, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

message: This article discusses the effect of divorce on the children of the marriage, but it doesn't discuss the effects on the other people who are involved. That deserves to be discussed too. 2604:CA00:1E9:72FA:0:0:661:85D8 (talk) 08:32, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
