I need to find this. Very important to me.
Is there empirical evidence relating to this question:

If so, what are those benefits?--Again, in terms of citable evidence.

Did your parents divorce when you were a small child? Do you wish they hadn't? Do you wish they had handled it differently? What did they do right? How do you feel about the custody arrangement they worked out?
