I have been wondering at what age should the kids know about their WW dad. My children are older and are aware but I was curious at what age can children learn about divorce and affairs.

It depends on the kid, but most children over age 4 or 5 can understand the concept of adultery. I have never known of a 5 year old who didn't get it when told.
