The goal in this study is to highlight the impact of divorce on childrens behavior. Divorce is a traumatic experience for parents as well as for their children, and it is very important that parents give their children a sense of importance and a safe haven no matter what happens between them. Due to the growing number of divorces, both in the world and in Croatia, the frequency of divorces and possible causes will be discussed. Also, the child's reactions to divorce with regard to age and how the divorce itself affects the child will be considered. For the purposes of this study, research was conducted in the form of a semi-structured interview that talks about the child's experience of divorced (adolescent who was seventeen at the time of her parents' divorce) and what the child experienced before and after the parents divorce and how this affected the child's behavior and development. Before the research was conducted, several initial assumptions were made which were accepted or rejected after the research was conducted. The obtained conclusions tell us that parental divorce is difficult but certainly better than life in a relationship full of conflict and traumatic experiences for the child.
