This book is dedicated to all the children in this world who have been tasked by life to grow up with separated parents. It is a simple yet detailed guide for parents who have separated from the father or mother of their children, showing what they need to do to ensure their children no longer suffer unnecessarily from the parents' separation. The divorce rate in Germany has consistently been over 50 percent since 2001. Almost half of the couples who divorced in 2010 had minor children. Not mentioned in these statistics are the countless separations of young parents with children who were not married. Here, the separation rate is a sad 87 percent. Thus, we have millions of children who do not benefit from the upbringing and, above all, the influence of both mother and father. Many parents struggle after their separation.
