Children's behaviour can change due to change in family dynamic such as parents separating, new partner or parents not being involved.

Resources:

https://raisingchildren.net.au/grown-ups/family-diversity/parenting-after-separation-divorce/helping-children-adjust-separation

This links talks about parents separating and how this can affect the child behaviour. Children can become more irritated or not able to control emotions.

This link is about children adjusting to a new family dynamic and tips on how to make this transition smooth.
