After Divorce, Stable Families Help Minimize Long-Term Harm to Children

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

For children of divorce, what happens after their parents split up may be just as important to their long-term well-being as the divorce itself.

A new study found that children who lived in unstable family situations after their parents divorced fared much worse as adults on a variety of measures compared to children who had stable post-divorce family situations.

"For many children with divorced parents, particularly young ones, the divorce does not mark the end of family structure changes -- it marks the beginning," said Yongmin Sun, co-author of the study and associate professor of sociology at Ohio State University's Mansfield campus.

In the two divorced family groups, children may have lived in single-parent families or ones with a stepparent.

The key for this research was whether that arrangement -- whichever it was -- changed between ages 14 and 18.

The researchers compared how children in these groups fared on measures of education, income and poverty in 2000 when they were 26.

Results showed that young adults who grew up in stable post-divorce families had similar chances of attending college and living in poverty compared to those from always married families.

This study found that for those in stable post-divorce families, the difference in adult well-being was mostly due to a shortage of economic and social resources.

We provide direct, immediate access to mainstream national media for 600 colleges, universities, medical centers, public-policy groups and other leading nonprofit organizations.
