Lack of money impacts children's access to clothes, toys, health care, and educational opportunities. A decline in the quality and quantity of parenting impacts the amount of conflict a child experiences, parenting style, and parental responsiveness. Divorce also affects a child's community connections. Divorce often leads to residential moves, which decrease the family's knowledge of and access to community resources.
