Children of divorce and separation face multiple transitions in their lives. They experience the shock of the initial separation and often a move to new living conditions—new housing, new school, new friends. Simultaneously, they typically are involved in a visitation schedule, perhaps one weekend per month, with the separated parent. Given that most divorced adults remarry, this cycle is then repeated: the transition to another new home, a strange adult, any children of the new adult, and new adjustments to schools, teachers, and friends. Children from divorced and remarried families tend to exhibit more behavioral problems and are less academically, socially, and psychologically well adjusted than those in nondivorced families. Nevertheless, 70% to 80% of children from divorced families do not show severe or enduring problems in their reactions to their parents’ marital changes and develop as reasonably competent and well-adjusted individuals. Table 38-1 provides data on the living arrangements of children younger than 18 years old.
