The issue of providing psychological assistance to families experiencing divorce holds a significant place in contemporary family psychology, particularly due to its impact on child personality development. As the primary socialization environment, the family shapes children’s emotional state, and its dissolution can profoundly alter their psychological health and relationships with parents. This study is grounded in empirical research conducted in 2024, involving 20 participants from 10 families (adults aged 25–45, children aged 9–18). The methodologies employed included the “Marital Satisfaction Scale” (Stolin et al.), SAN (Doskin et al.), the Parental Attitude Test (Varga, Stolin), and the “Family Drawing” technique (Korman). The analysis explored children’s emotional states and the dynamics of relationships between spouses and their children post-divorce. Findings revealed that half of the families-maintained well-being, facilitating children’s adaptation. Recommendations and a corrective program were developed to mitigate the crisis’s effects. The study emphasizes the critical role of individualized counseling and prevention, highlighting the need to address the emotional and behavioral characteristics of those affected by family dissolution.
