Out? how does it relate to context? Please explain.

No, Fall out is an actual idiom. Even better used then "being apart".

I think, Apart is correct.

Fall out means to cut off relation.

Apart sounds right, but considering the meaning, fall out is correct.

FALL APART- breaking into pieces.

FALL OUT- quarrel/ gap between two/disagrrement.

Agree @Saran.

The answer should be fall apart.

At first I thought it was also fall apart.

But this is about relationship Kinship. You fall "in" a relationship and you fall "out" of a relationship.

Live "in" harmony live "out" of harmony. Just my 2 cents.

May be falling apart is the phrase used when they will be divided in two teams by someone else. Not by their own. If so. Then use out.
