Parents should try their best to remain with their spouses. And, protecting these children is a life-long exercise.
Those that have children should not have a string of partners, waiting in the wings. Too many young people divorce the spouse and parent of their children, running to the new man/woman that is waiting in the wings. Everyone should realize that children need stability, and children who have already gone through a divorce should not have to witness their parents dating mishaps.
Parents can date, without bringing these people into the household. It can be tastefully done, out of the children's line of vision. Introduce the kids only when the relationship is really significant, and it looks like it has a future.

Some parents switch partners constantly, they introduce the new catch of the day as your new mommy or daddy. That is confusing and sets a bad example. Your children will lose respect for you.
Parents are people too, you just have to be careful.
