Why does this sentence require a comma?
From the Cambridge Dictionary website:
"Research shows that it is not divorce per se that harms children, but the continuing conflict between parents."
What comes after "but" is not an independent clause, so why the comma?
"Research shows that it is not divorce per se that harms children, but the continuing conflict between parents."
