Amicable and Compassionate Approach

But if you still have decided to hide this thing from your kid it will be totally wrong for him. Hence both the parents should sit down together and talk amongst themselves that how and what they are planning about the child – his custody, his financial expenses, and other decision-making power of the kid. So once everything has been amicably/mutually agreed then both the parents should have a word with the kid jointly.

Lastly, please do not ask your children whether they think you should get a divorce or not. This is not their decision. This is your decision, and this is your life. Even though the results of that decision impact them a lot, you are the parent and that burden should also be one kept from the shoulders of those who should not carry them.
