Hmm, this is a very thoughtful topic . I will give my little idea on this.
Everybody deserves to love and be loved, in a case where couples don't love each other again,I wouldn't advise anyone stay and give up his or her mental stability up just because of the children but nevertheless they must come in agreement on how to make sure the children also don't lack their parents love and care. To decide who the children should stay with,at a very young age like infant,they should probably stay with the mother because no matter how crazy a woman is,she cannot harm her child,she will definitely seek for the safety of her child but a teenager can decide whoever he or she wants to go with, either mom or dad that doesn't mean he or she shouldn't see the other parent again or not receive love form him or her.
Court should look into the divorce issue more in Nigeria,cos a lot of people are out there who leave all the responsibility of two parents to one parents just because they aren't together anymore and the issue of a parent condemning the other just because he or she is not present should be counsel by the court to couples because it's affects the children mental health and understanding of love.Alot of people are suffering from trauma from their parents lovelife. And again,the court should also counsel children whose parents divorce that they shouldn't hate their parents,every human is prone to make mistakes,their parents are also in this life for the first time, so they should forgive them of the mistakes of what they brought out to them .
