Children of divorce are obligated to respect both parents. This is the case even if they are being raised primarily by their mother, and she demands they cut contact with their father because he has hurt her and she claims he is a bad person. They are not allowed to listen to her. However, when children are young, it is hard for them to hold their own. Thus, it is hard to blame them if they do not have a good relationship with their father. Nevertheless, once they grow up, they must have respectful relationships with both parents.
