"THE IMPACT OF DIVORCE ON SCHOOL AGE (9TH GRADERS) CHILDREN'S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AS REFLECTED BY OVERALL END-TERM GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Introduction
According to Clarke-Stewart, Friedman and Koch (1985):
There are well over a million divorces in this country every year, and 70 percent of these families have children. (pp 476-477)
Not only has divorce risen to these staggering proportions but there are indications that the divorce rate is still increasing. Such statistics highlight the importance of understanding how divorce affects people, especially for children whose underdeveloped cognitive and emotional skills can make them particularly vulnerable. This study constitutes research aimed ..."

From the Paper
"Children go through so much when their parents are divorcing. The parents are busy themselves trying to make new lives for themselves, adjusting their life styles, and dealing with their own problems. Meanwhile, the child is lonely and confused. Normally, family and friends tend to pull back when, during this time, the children need them the most."

Abstract
This paper examines that impact that the divorce of parents has on the children of the family. It discusses the issues that children face from a social perspective and it illustrates some of the ways in which children can be negatively impacted by the trauma of divorce. The paper concludes that, if not managed properly, divorce can cause significant psychological and social impacts on the affected children for years to come.
From the Paper
"This finding was confirmed through an extensive twenty-five year study of children who experienced the divorce of their parents and then grew into adulthood, periodically returning to work with the research team to chart their psychosocial development. The study found that the immediate effects of divorce on children were not nearly so significant as the long-term effects, particularly when those children grew old enough to want to try to develop intimate relationships. Anxiety and fear of loss complicated these attempts, very often undermining the chances for interpersonal success and personal satisfaction (Benham 15). From another point-of-view, it would seem that the greatest impact on children from divorce is the long-term effects on the ability of those children to become fully self-reliant adults (Corak 712). It would seem that the specter of the divorce lingers with many of those children for decades, at least, affecting behavior and opportunities for happiness with other people."

Abstract
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)."

Abstract
This paper reviews a longitudinal study conducted by Pennsylvania State University, which reveals that the effects of divorce on children depend on the parents? marriage. Children of couples who fight a lot tend to fare better psychologically and socially after divorce than do the children of couples whose marriages show few outward signs of stress. The author points out that a new book, "The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce,'' by psychologist Judith Wallerstein, based on a recent study, argues that emotional complications are common among adult children of divorced parents, although many of these complications may not be fully evident until decades after the breakup. The paper cites a recent report by Kather and Rembar at Children?s Psychiatric Hospital, University of Michigan, that a father lost through divorce is associated with diminished self-concepts in children and that one of the most devastating affects on a child is fear of abandonment by the remaining parent.

From the Paper
"On the positive side, the researchers found that the adult children of divorced parents have strong survival instincts. The same experiences that hindered relationships were effective in the workplace. The study participants had a good deal of success getting along with difficult people, and those who had mothers who often said one thing and fathers who said another became adept at making up their own minds.
The study also compared the adults from divorced families to 44 adults from intact families. Children of intact marriages took strength from their parents' decision to stay together, the researchers found, even though the marriage may have had conflict and unhappiness similar to those of families that broke up."

Abstract
This paper cites numerous studies and research about the negative effects that divorce has on children and looks at how lasting these effects are. The paper also points out that these studies indicate that the damaging effects from divorce do not have to be lasting and that, often, children of divorced parents grow up to be more resourceful and resilient as a result of the divorce and the pain they suffered going through the divorce process.
From the Paper
"There is something unnatural about divorce, yet often necessary at the same time. Unfortunately, divorce has become commonplace in today?s society. Most families have been affected by divorce, whether by parents, uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, or cousins. The majority of people have at least one family member who has had a divorce, and unless that family member was some distant cousin seen once a decade or so, that divorce had an effect on every other family member. For example, Aunt Susie and Uncle Fred have divorced, so after seventeen years, Aunt Susie will no longer be celebrating Christmas or vacationing with Uncle Fred's relatives, and vise versa, thus two entire families are affected as bonds are severed between family members. As difficult as it might be to adjust to Christmas without Aunt Susie as one big happy family, for children of divorced parents, adjusting to losing the unity of both parents can be overwhelming."

From the Paper
"For centuries, the family has an essential institution, evolving from humans' co-dependent tendencies and need for nurturing relationships (Snowdon, 2000). The family unit lays the foundation for an individuals future, having the power to influence either positively or negatively. An important part of human development and relationships, family can provide a loving and nurturing environment. However, when the family is disrupted, it can have a negative effect on the individual's self-esteem and method of relating to others. In this light, the family is a major determining factor in the outcome of a person?s success and happiness in life."

Abstract
While a divorce may be devastating or relieving to a couple, children are frightened and confused by the terrible threat to their security. However, if a child feels secure and loved throughout the divorce, he or she may not be harmed by the divorce at all. Reflecting on these concerns, this paper determines the effects of divorce on the lives of children. It presents a literature review on the subject and a conclusion based on the findings.
From the Paper
"A third study points to the idea that the effect of divorce on the lives of children largely rests in the hands of the family. Recent research from Iowa State University suggest that parents, even those no longer living in the home, have a lot of control over children's adjustment to divorce. This study was the first to examine all the major factors commonly associated with divorce and child development problems."

Abstract
This paper discusses the various ways in which children are affected by divorce - first, they are impacted by the change in income; second, a large number suffer from a lessening of ties with their fathers; third, children suffer a loss in residential stability because they often have to move out of their house and/or a new town. The research shows that the question is no longer whether divorce can be a strain on children, but rather how much of a strain.
From the Paper
"Judith Wallerstein, a premier researcher in this field, notes that one of the key concerns of this generation should be the sociological and psychological effect that divorce has had and will continue to have on children. In The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce, she indicates that children from divorced parents are still experiencing negative effects even 30 years later. The book shows how these products of divorce have struggled with the fear that their relationships will fail like those of their parents. Lacking an internal template of what a successful relationship looks like, they have had to invent their own codes of behavior in a culture that offers many models and few guidelines."

Parental Involvement and School Performance, 2004.

Abstract
This paper is a research proposal designed to show that students perform better in school, both academically and socially, when their parents and/or other caring adults are involved in their lives and that the skills students learn from their parents and school at a young age carry over into their adult lives and affect how they function in society. The author reports that she will use a quantitative method based on report card grades and a parental questionnaire ascertaining the degree of parental involvement. The paper assumes that the analysis will show that, in general, children who perform well in school have more parental involvement overall than children who perform poorly. And this is why programs for these at-risk children, those not supported by their parents, are so badly needed.

"Often, there is not much time for the children after the parent or parents arrive home from work. They are tired, and therefore the homework and other concerns of the child are often neglected or done in haste instead of talked about the done properly. This is doing a great disservice to our youth, as they will be the future of this world, and many of them will be ill prepared for the ?real world? of work, bills, and household duties and responsibilities because of a poor education and poor role models. This can be prevented, but it is not an easy fix, and much work remains to be done."

From the Paper
"The days of mom, dad, a dog, 2.5 children and a white picket fence have been replaced by an increasing number of single parent households due to the steadily increasing divorce rate since the 1970's (Price & McKenry, 1988). Divorce can be defined as the, "legal dissolution of a socially and legally recognized marital relationship that alters the obligations and privileges of the two persons involved" (Price & McKenry, 1988, p. 7). When two parents find it impossible to live together even for the sake of a child, they come out of the situation with a solution: divorce. Children are left to be divided and shared between the two parents who refuse to play nice. The parents are left with a solution; they no longer have obligations to each other. But the children are the ones left to suffer for they are then forced to live with one ill-equipped parent who now has to juggle raising a family, tending to the house, and to managing the financial responsibilities all alone. Some people see this as a growing concern, whereas others take the position that children are resilient and fully able to adapt to changing situations and lifestyles."

Abstract
This paper explains that when parents divorce, most children may take years to recover from the psychological problems and even then ruminants of the separation remain with their character and choices in later life. The author points out that only in cases of abuse is divorce considered to have a positive impact on a child when compared to parents living together amidst everyday strife. The paper concludes that parents must ensure that their acceptance of the divorce is quick and healthy, must adjust to the economic situation and must not create issues with their ex-partners in front of the child.
From the Paper
"The fact is that a child never gets over divorce. Studies in the past had shown that the two parent family was the most stable in terms of child development. Children had a male and female role model and the excesses of one parent were tempered by the other. Of course, exceptions to the rule have always been present. Abuse in any form can have it toll on the child and even two parent families have been known to fail. Yet, in most circumstances, children from two family structures are better developed in terms of their psychology than their counterparts from single divorced parent families. In fact, children whose parents die are better adjusted than those from divorced parent families."
