The study also revealed the non-existent of strong support system for children to overcome some of the effects or problems of divorce .In addition the findings of the study indicates that the effects of divorce is not only limited to early detachment from parent rather psychological, social, and financial problems are also associated with. On the other hand, the role of social worker is very minimal; they are only assigned if the case turns out bad and only specific to some issues like custodial matters and maintenance issues. Aside from limited role of social worker, the study has implication that their role should extend to crises intervention, case management, and conciliation, connecting people to resource, awareness raising and advocacy.
