Clinical psychologist and public intellectual Dr Jordan Peterson says he has “objections” to divorce but supports his daughter's decision to leave her unhappy marriage.

Mikhaila Peterson divorced her exhusband due to a poor relationship and has since remarried in 2022.

“I’m able to let my children handle the complexity of their own private lives,” Dr Peterson told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

“I had faith that she would sort things out … I was willing to give her space.

“I believe she is oriented to find her way ... I’m willing to stand back and watch her and to provide whatever help I can along the way.”
