In today's generation, there are many forms of family composition that contribute to how a society defines a family. There is the traditional family where there are heterosexual parents and biological children. There is also the modern family where there is a larger combination, extended relationships and children out of wedlock. In all forms of family composition, the family plays an important role with a function that contributes to the balance of society. Looking deeper at a smaller scale model of society, having a family is a significant component of every individual's life. Family bonds can bring positivity, strength, and happiness, but they can also bring difficult challenges. A conflict within a family such as divorce has a sociological impact that affects all family members, especially children. Therefore, it redefines the roles and responsibilities of each family member. Each individual may look at divorce from different angles due to the different beliefs, attitudes and knowledge that each individual possesses.

The actions taken by divorcing parents are crucial to children's success in recovering from the situation. Participating in early intervention programs or simply providing assurance and assistance can alter the negative effects on children. If this problem is not adequately addressed, a broken family will be created with a consequent negative sociological impact on society. Current and subsequent generations will have a different perception of marriage, causing a change in the direction of the social system. Marriage of divorcees should not be taken lightly because it not only affects the family but also the society.
