Büyük Anadolu Hospitals Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Specialist. Dr. Hilal Aydemir talked about the effects of the termination of the marriage union on the children with the divorce decision of the court.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Specialist. Dr. Hilal Aydemir stated that some precautions should be taken and some rules should be observed in order to protect the mental health of the child during the divorce process and said, "This situation is very important for the development of the child."
“It should be stated that it is not caused by the child”
Saying, "The parents should tell the child about the divorce decision at the same time, if possible". Dr. Hilal Aydemir said, "In this process, the explanation in terms of the child's compliance with the divorce process should be explained in accordance with the child's age and developmental level. Sometimes children may blame themselves for the divorce process. When this decision is announced, it should be clearly stated to the child that it is not caused by the child, but by the disagreement between the parents. We recommend that parents do not speak negatively about each other in this process. If such a situation occurs, the child's trust in the other parent may be shaken. It is important that the parent who does not have custody sees the child at regular intervals and if possible, sees them whenever they want.
