C hildren A fter R elationships E nd Preserving the Natural Bond CARE whether it be our own or the life of a friend, a relative, a neighbour or a work colleague. Divorce surrounds us all that is so commonplace that most people give it little thought. Unfortunately, it is usually the children who suffer most in the aftermath of this social disease and although a few children are better off when their parents separate, the vast majority are not. It is a fact that within two years of divorce, more than 50% of children lose all contact with their non-custodial parent, usually their father. Children do not divorce their parents. Given free choice and provided there is no emotional blackmail by one vindictive parent against the other, children will almost always choose to remain in touch with and continue a proper and meaningful relationship with both people who brought them into the world and whose chromosomes they share - one of the strongest bonds in the human species. An example of this is adopted children who, despite never having known their "real" parents, dream of meeting them and often go to great lengths to trace them when they reach adulthood. Some marriages are not yet formally recognised in our New South Africa and they and their offspring have no legal rights under separation. Neither do unmarried fathers who must pay maintenance but who have NO rights concerning the children for whom they are paying it.
