SummaryDivorce is something that we see more often in society today. From starting as an unheard of phenomenon within families, divorce has increased, and is encompassing more and more children each and every year. Is divorce something that we as educators can expect to affect our students? Yes, but in many different forms and with many different consequences for each individual child. According to research done by the Research and Statistics division (1997), “between the end of the 1960s and the mid 1980s, the divorce rate increased fivefold.” The Research and Statistics division (1997) also stated, “It is estimated that one in two divorce cases involve dependant children, illustrating that each year a substantial number of children are affected by divorce.” These statistics are telling us that in fact children are being subjected to divorce and the factors that come with it. Also, according to Abrams (2004), “what is clear is that there are numerous potentially significant consequences for children, both short and long term.”
