Divorce has become a serious problem in modern society for children and women. On the other hand, today many married couples are separating at higher rates than in the past and married couples are becoming minorities. Children are affected socially, emotionally, economically and in their ability to learn. Children who are used to living with both parents in the same household tend to be more affected by divorce than those who are not used to their parents living in the same household. Additionally, parents serve as role models and provide emotional and practical support to their children. During the divorce process, children generally lose all contact with their father. Kelly and Emery (2003) report that on average fathers see their children four times a month, and 20% of studies show that fathers have no contact with their children for 2 to 3 years after a divorce. This can have an emotional and cognitive effect on the child. “Separated and divorced people have the highest rates of adjustment problems and psychological disorders in the population (Carrere et al., 2000). The father generally defines his strengths and emotional stability and plays a role in his children's lives differently than the mother. When both parents suffer from psychological distress, it can affect children's well-being. One of the many roles fathers play in their children's lives. is the role of the supplier.

In fact, children face moving to low-income areas, changing school districts, and even losing the resources necessary for their health and growth.
