The study, which was based on 623 Australian teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 whose parents had separated between July 2006 and September 2008, was released yesterday by the federal Attorney-General, Robert McClelland.

The study found that boys and girls tend to react differently to parental separation. The study found that boys often have a harder time adjusting to their parent’s separation and are more likely than girls to feel that it would have been better if their parents didn’t separate.

The study also found that most adolescents did not want to have a say in which parent they lived with.
