I recommend this CBC documenatary (How To Divorce And Not Wreck The Kids):

http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/docz.../howtodivorce/

You can watch it on-line. The trend in family law is towards collaborative family law, and joint custody. Years of research shows that children that have maximum contact with both parents, will do just as well as children of married parents.

The "divorce from hell" stories grab headlines: couples who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars destroying each other and, incidentally, their children. But in this country, there is another reality. Grassroots Canadians are at the heart of a quiet revolution - couples working on "good" divorces, which acknowledge that the end of a marriage isn't the end of a family. Because research says: separating parents who co-operate can raise children who are as emotionally healthy as kids from intact families.
