Divorce - Kiley Stoll
Divorce occurs all over the United States, although half of all marriages will end in divorce. Many different factors have been shown to lead to a divorce such as, age, education and social strata.
The older a woman is at marriage, the less likely she is to divorce. Less educated couples tend to divorce at higher rates than those with more education. Couples who live together before marriage have higher divorce rates than those who do not. However, they also tend to come from lower social classes, another factor related to increased probability of divorce.
Ethnicity and race also play a roll in divorce. The divorce rate among African Americans is twice that of whites. Hispanics (particularly Puerto Ricans), Native Americans, and Hawaiians also have higher than average divorce rates, while Asian Americans are less likely than other Americans to divorce.

Divorce does not only affect the immediate couple, but others around them. Children taking the biggest hit and the ones who suffer the most. Divorce negatively affects the emotional and social aspects of children’s lives. Although children overall are affected, boys tend to suffer greater emotional and psychological problems than girls. Families headed by single women with children represent the poorest of all major population groups.
Divorce affects many everyday factors, but I believe the ones followed are hit the most; social class- (parents decline in income no longer the same, split and payments increase such as appartment, bills, etc) , social mobility, self values- (the child does not believe in themselves as they had before, they are still experiencing emotional situations), role taking-(the child’s values may have changed due to expectations decreasing negatively) and social integration-(pressure is put on the child by two different ends now, negative and positive).

personally i have never been in a situation to where my parents got divorced but i have had several freinds that have. even adults in their mid thirties are getting divorces because of multiple reasons. a main cause is financial issues. when your son or daughter goes off to college you are shelling out an abundance of money. some coupless cant take it and become stressed taking it out on each other. a divorce can change a whol family even if someone isnt always around, like a college sstudent. there really is no cure for this beause you do not know how bad your financial issues can get until they get there.
