"Some families who argue frequently but somehow come together at the end and work together to work with the kids and they solve the problems, they repair the disagreements," said psychologist, Dr. Jerry Berger.

But Dr. Berger said if disagreements don't get fixed and the kids are being affected, it may be a sign the marriage is not working out. Other signs it may be time to separate?

"Certainly if domestic violence is involved. Certainly if there are lots of kids related fighting. The parents are arguing over the kids and kids overhearing. Loud arguments and aggressiveness," said Berger.

Kids who are becoming affected may regress in certain behaviors, younger kids may have toilet training accidents, bed wetting or angry outbursts.

How divorce can affect kids

Divorce is tough on adults, and it's tougher on children. Making the decision to divorce, if it's the right decision, is sometimes unclear. In most marriages, the best marriages, couples argue. Fighting may not be a flag for divorce. Marcie Fraser reports.

Although he's better now, when this young boy's parents divorced two years ago, it took its toll.

"I think it affected me a lot. I had 90s and 80s and all subjects, and then I went down to 70s and 80s," said Evan, whose parents divorced.

Other signs that it is affecting the kids may include more emotional, internal problems, like anxiety, even depression.

"They get more anxious, more worried. They get clingy to the parents, more fearful, they stick around and don't want to leave you," said Berger.

If you think your marriage may be in trouble, before you consider divorce, seek professional guidance to help make the right decision for you and for your kids.
