NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Despite some concerns to the contrary, new research suggests that dealing with a child's cancer does not generally raise parents' risk of divorce.

Using data on nearly 978,000 married couples in Norway, researchers found that divorce rates between 1974 and 2001 were no higher among couples with a child suffering from cancer compared with other parents.
