Of course, they'll feel the effects. I think the point we were trying to make is that children, especially young ones, adapt pretty easy.
It's much harder for a 14 year old to accept that his daddy left his mommy for another woman than a 4 year old.
Sure the ex-wife's lifestyle will plummet, but it's the husbands job to make sure that the kids are taken care of. If that means sending a llittle more money besides the child support then so be it.
Children will adapt. If the situation has always been Mom lives here Dad lives there, then there's no system shock. No shake-up of the world that they've built around them. It's a bit different for a 12 year old going through the same thing.
