It depends on what things are not working out. If the issues can be resolved, with counseling or some professional help, I would highly encourage it.
But if both sides decide that the issues are too unsolvable and are not willing to commit to solve them, I'd say it's best to split up. If I were a child, I would rather have separate happy parents and together unhappy parents.
If you do split up, I would advise you remain civil and polite with one another. Now, some times, it's not possible to have this ideal situation... and if it's not, there's nothing you can do to control the other person. Just try to keep things civil, split even times between the children, and let go of each other.
Granted, two parents families are ideal, but that's really only if the parents are happy and on the same page. The condition of just having two parents in and of itself is not the ideal.
