Almost every third marriage in Croatia ends in divorce, so more and more children are affected by the process of parental separation. Separation itself does not necessarily represent a risk factor for the child's well-being, but it becomes high-risk in the presence of frequent and intractable conflicts. A difficult and permanently disturbed parental dynamic is a feature of a high-conflict divorce. Parents who are in high conflict impair the child's well-being with both proactive and passive behaviors. The aim of this paper is to systematically describe the conceptualization and operationalization of the child's well-being in context of conflicting separated parenting through the analysis of graduate papers of the Social Work Study Center. The paper identifies the most frequently described psychosocial difficulties that a child experiences due to a whole series of inappropriate behaviors and/or psychological exploitation by parents to achieve their personal goals and presents the experiences of experts in working with parents who are separated by conflict. The results show seven key themes related to the child's psychosocial difficulties, five themes describing inappropriate parental behaviors and two themes related to the experience of difficulties in working with parents in a high-conflict divorce. It is concluded that conflicted parents do not cooperate with social welfare experts, behave inappropriately towards children and/or in the presence of children which leads to violation of the child's rights and well-being.
