I think you shouldn’t jump right to it if the other details fit. You should do some extra checking out, find out WHY they got divorced, and if the boy/girl have any role models of shalom bayis outside their home (assuming they got divorced because of shalom bayis issues.) It’s very important for people to have role models of shalom bayis, because the way your parents related to each other is the biggest cue you have for relating to your husband or wife. This is true even for children of married couples. Unfortunately, not everyone who is married has shalom bayis.
