Until now, divorce is still considered taboo and is a negative thing for some people. This makes parents hesitant and afraid to openly and honestly reveal their divorce to their children. This is the background for researchers to examine the communication strategies used by parents in disclosing the facts of divorce to their children. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. The subjects in this research used a purposive sampling technique. The data collection techniques used were interviews and literature studies. The data analysis techniques in this research used techniques introduced by Miles and Hubbermen, namely data condensation, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of the research show that there are communication strategies used by parents in disclosing facts divorce to children, namely parents do not directly convey about their divorce.
