Abstract
The divorce rate of parents with school age children is increasing at an alarming rate. The divorce rate has more than doubled from 1965 to 1975 involving over 60 percent with children (Damon, 1979). In 1981 there were 1,180,000 children affected by divorce, accounting for 20 percent of student enrollment (Cantraell, 1986; Drake, 1981). Silvern (1985) projected that by 1990, 32 percent of American children may face a divorce in their family. These startling statistics have caused educators to examine the effects that divorce can have on student achievement.
