Paper Summary:

Divorce can have a devastating impact on a family. Children are particularly vulnerable when their parents are divorced. For many years, experts in the field of child psychology have investigated the impact of divorce on children. They have found that children of divorce can have a plethora of problems, including behavioral, emotional, and adjustment difficulties. This paper explores the impact of divorce on children.

From the Paper:

"According to current data, nearly 51% of all marriages in the United States ends in divorce (Love and Murdock 2004). In addition, the divorce rate began to climb in the 1960's. Many factors may have contributed to this increase including a greater independence felt by women and the ability they had to support themselves (Love and Murdock 2004). Along with these factors is the increase in the number of stepfamilies because many who remarry already have children (Love and Murdock 2004). The introduction of the stepfamily into a divorced situation can lead to even greater problems for children of divorce (Love and Murdock 2004)."
