The Impact of Parental Divorce on a Child

Since the beginning of the century the impact of parent divorce on child divorce has dramatically increased. Unfortunately, the probability of getting married and divorcing today is up to 50%. Furthermore, the average marriage period decreased from 17 years in 1971 to more than 9 years in 1990 (Halonen & Santrock, 1997). Halonen and Santrock argue that divorce rates are increasing in all socio-economic groups, but disadvantaged people have high divorce rates.

Divorce is very common in American culture. Children often fall into the middle in such intense circumstances. Children of parents who divorced are often greatly affected by the loss of their parents. Children's life changes have a big impact on children.

Since the problem of abduction of the parent's child is known to happen to a decentralized parent, not a unified full family, excessive emotional burden can lead to outreach trauma. Rand reported that Wallerstein is familiar with parent's alienation syndrome, but Wallerstein and Blakesley (1989) prefer to use the term "overburd child" to explain the problem.

Since the mid-1970s, thefts of parents and children have increased since divorce, and as the divorce rate rose and child custody lawsuits increased (Huntington, 1986). According to Hoff (1997), the term "kidnapping parents" includes children's admission, retention or concealment by parents, other families, or their agents while infringing other parents' custody rights included. "Abandoned parents can move from one state to another to initiate a new abuse investigation that hinders the child's protection service intervention Participation in child protection services in their country of origin Hope The most common situation is to deprive the parents of their jurisdiction to hide or exceed the jurisdiction law.
