Oh I didn't know the details. If they don't get along they're still doing the kid a favor by separating, kid won't benefit from growing up with two people who don't get along.
Single mothers are more likely to abuse/neglect than mothers married to biological fathers, and new boyfriends/step-fathers are more likely to abuse/neglect that any other individual typically known to a child. Obviously we all have anecdotal experiences that defy social trends like this, but in general separation is a disaster for all parties involved. There is no greater predictor for later poverty/crime than the broken family.
