Insight: Kids on Divorce

This week Insight revisits one of its most talked about programs of this year. What’s it like being a child of divorce?

Last year, over one in four of Australian kids grew up in either a step or blended family or with one single parent. 43% of marriages now end in divorce and over one million kids grow up with their natural parent living elsewhere.

Insight throws out the adults and includes video diaries filmed with 12 to 20 year olds from around the country. They reveal some of the myths surrounding the impact of divorce and separation on both younger and older children.

While academics, psychologists, lawyers, and policy makers hotly debate the best way to care for kids after a relationship break-up this episode asks ‘How often do we hear from the kids themselves’

An online chat will also be held after the show at news.sbs.com.au/insight/
