Abstract: This study examines the effects of marital disruption on children's behavior, accounting for variations in postdisruption living arrangements and the effects of parent-child relationships and marital conflict. The study is based on a 1981 national sample of 1,400 children aged 12-16. Disruption was associated with a higher incidence of several behavior problems, negative effects being greatest with multiple marital transitions. The negative effects are lower if the child lives with the same-sex parent following divorce or maintains a good relationship with one or both parents. High, persistent conflict in intact families is also related to behavior problems.

TL;DR: For children and young people who witness domestic violence, this experience is core to their lives, yet service support and delivery is still fragmented across the UK as discussed by the authors, and the government need to re-address the evidence from research and practice that shows us the extent of the problem and its effects upon children, so they recognise the need to appropriately fund and deliver supportive services for our young and vulnerable population.
