Using data from 1339 published documents indexed on the Web of Science and a visual analytics technique, the study highlights several challenges.

Parental divorce causes damaging effects on children and can lead to antisocial and behavioral problems and psychological and health problems. Also, adversities from divorce can have multidimensional consequences on the parties.
