I know of a friend who has 3 kids. Married for 12 years, lids aged 2, 4 and, 6. When they decided to go ahead with the divorce. They sat the kids down and explained to them. Things were not working out, and what would be happening.
At the moment the kids stared blankly, however try as much as you both can to stay calm and collected.
You need time, so will the kids. The key here is "time" meanwhile keep them close, keep thier routine as stable as possible, nothing big to go on for them. We try to minimize the trauma instead of aggravating it further.
As tough as it is going to be, its best for you to talk to the children. Im not saying it would definitely work out, but during this crucial period we should be open about it.
