By Ginita Wall

Almost 60 percent of the people surveyed in a July 2007 Pew Research Center report said divorce is better than an unhappy marriage.

Two -thirds of the 2,020 people agreed it's better for children. If you're ending your marriage, here's how you can help your kids through it.

	Keep them away from court. If you're going to court or mediation, leave your kids with their grandparents or someone you trust. They don't need to be exposed to the legal workings of your breakup.

	Get counseling. You and your kids may need to talk with a professional to help you through.
