My mom lost her mom at age 9. Children that lose a parent to death, hurt a lot. But they do not get a feeling of rejection that divorce causes. When a mom or dad leave or in many cases are forced to leave because a parent filed for divorce, the child takes it personally and in a different way. I am close to my daughter and when she was young, I even curtailed some overnight business travel to be with her in the evening. When a mom sends a dad down the road, the kid hears about lawyer expenses and dad didn’t pay and other degrading horror stories. Kids can accept poor more easily than having their mom blame their dad for not making enough money and paying enough support so they can wear 120 dollar shoes.
The bible has strong encouragent in not exploiting or hurting orphans.
