Divorce is an ugly thing that affects a lot of kids all over the world daily. I myself have gone through it. Of course I was much younger at the time, but it still affected me. I came to learn the man my mother divorced, was not only a bad man, but he was also not my father, and so my and my sisters were hung in the balance of who would go where. Fortunately, my mother got all three of us. We were torn apart from my family and forced to move two states away. ( I live in the U.S.) We didn't know anybody, and we were so alone in the fact that we were the youngest kids at the time to be going through it. Trust me, everyone who has been through knows that it sucks!
