only very few divorces are with an abusive parent. most divorces are a disagreement between the parents without involving the kids. in those cases, the parents solving their dispute without divorce would be better. but if they can't, and the children loose access to one parent, they will be worse of.

Many cases without a divorce and both parents present include a parent or both who are not very fit for parenting.

a few maybe, but many, i highly doubt. that would imply that humans in general are unable to figure out how be a parent by learning from their own parents which is generally the vector for learning this.

people unfit for parenting are most likely mentally ill or they are put in an impossible situation with unreasonable demands and no outside support.
