It has been proven that children are affected by divorce both during the procedure and after it. Divorce is a stressful life event, and children, being the most vulnerable group, often suffer emotional and behavioral consequences of various intensity and duration. The consequences can be short-term or long-term, and are in connection with various factors such as age, gender, relationship between parents and support. Support is given by the parents, but the extended family and friends also play an important role in giving support. Researches have shown that there is a positive relation between an adequate support and self-esteem and a negative relation between a lack of support and anxiety in children. Active social work is distinguished by legal procedures, giving support through various activities and prevention programs as well as by helping in strengthening parenting skills so that parents can better understand their child’s emotions and reactions and adequately react to them. Parent’s timely reactions, as well as timely reactions of family and experts contribute to child’s faster and better adaptation to a new situation and reduce negative emotional consequences which occur in children as a product of divorce.
