In the United States, significantly more children under the age of 18 live with a female divorced parent than a male divorced parent. In 2021, about ****** children under the age of one lived with their divorced, single father, compared with ****** children of the same age who lived with their divorced single mother.

This statistic shows the number of children living with single divorced parents in the United States in 2020, by race. In 2020, ****** Asian children lived with their divorced single father.

Abstract The pandemic has impacted the ways in which people interact. Which impacts the pandemic might have brought about in regards to child custody and contacts arrangements? Through a thematic analysis, this qualitative and exploratory study investigated how 119 separated parents perceived this impact. Results address the impacts of the pandemic on child custody and contacts arrangements, especially regarding coparental communication. They also outline that the separated parents’ ability to adapt themselves to the pandemic restrictions, and their consequences. This ability was very linked to pre-existing coparental dynamics. Also, this paper discusses how the main impacts (i.e., maintaining contacts and caring for children) seemed to impact mothers more than fathers.

In 2021, about ******* children in the United States lived with a divorced single mother on a family income of less than ***** U.S. dollars annually. In comparison, approximately ****** children in the U.S. lived with a divorced single father on a family income of less than ***** U.S. dollars annually in that year.

Data for The Eye of the Beholder: attitudes towards divorced parents and perception of their children’s happiness in Peru and Spain

In 2023, couples without dependent children and those who had only minor children were the ones with the most divorce cases filed in Spain, registering over ****** cases in both cases. Couples with dependent adults registered only ***** divorces.

ABSTRACT Some difficulties may arise during the divorce process, taking the family into “destructive divorce”. In such cases, some authors can see the rising of Parental Alienation (PA). This article aims to criticize PA, reflecting about the Family Life Cycle and divorce. Regarding this, a qualitative study was conducted with legal actors (judges, prosecutors, psychologists, social workers, lawyers) on the issues of divorce and PA and the results were built using the conceptions of Zones of Sense by Gonzalez Rey. The summary results are: (a) PA does not contextualize the conflict; (b) it does not consider the history of the relationships; (c) it pathologizes, medicates and criminalizes the phenomena of post-divorce and (d) PA underestimates the child in the conflict.

Socially monogamous birds may break up their partnership by a so-called ’divorce’ behaviour. Divorce rate immensely varies across avian taxa that have a predominantly monogamous social mating system. Although a range of factors associated with divorce have been tested, broad-scale drivers of divorce rate remain contentious. Moreover, the impact of sexual roles in divorce still needs further investigation due to the conflicting interest of males and females. Here we applied phylogenetic comparative methods to analyse one of the largest datasets ever compiled that included divorce rates from published studies of 186 avian species from 25 orders and 61 families. We tested correlations between divorce rate and a group of factors: ‘promiscuity’ of both sexes (propensity of polygamy), migration distance, and adult mortality. Our results showed that only male promiscuity, but not female promiscuity, had a positive relationship with divorce rate. Furthermore, migration distance was positively correlated with divorce rate, while adult mortality rate showed no direct relationship with divorce rate. These findings indicated that divorce might not be a simple adaptive (by sexual selection) or non-adaptive strategy (by accidental loss of a partner), but could be a mixed response to sexual conflict and stress from the ambient environment. Methods We used data from Kenny et al. (2017), Liker et al. (2014), Botero et al. (2012), Handbook of the Birds of the World (https://birdsoftheworld.org) and other published literature (cited in the table). For migration distance, we used data from Delhey et al. 2021. Adult mortality rate was extracted from the AVONET database. Our final dataset contains 232 avian species from 25 orders and 61 families, and the number of species with the full dataset is 186.

Despite public opinion that divorce is becoming more frequent in the United States, the divorce rate actually seems to be declining, with Nevada being the top state for divorce in 2022, with a rate of *** divorces per 1,000 of the population, followed by Oklahoma, Arkansas, Idaho, and Wyoming. Marriage and divorce in Nevada Nevada has one of the highest marriage rates in the country, and Las Vegas is a popular wedding destination. Nevada is one of the few states in the U.S. that allows couples to get a marriage license and get married immediately afterwards. In addition, Nevada is a no-fault divorce state, which means that couples do not need to address the reason behind the divorce. Divorced couples in the U.S. In recent years, the number of divorced individuals over age 50 in the U.S. seems to have surpassed the number of those who were under the age of 30, but whether the younger generation remains married longer than generations past is yet to be seen. Additionally, far more children of divorced parents lived with a female single parent, rather than a male single parent.

In 2023, the divorce rate in Poland amounted to *** per **** people. It is a slight decrease compared to the previous year. The highest divorce rate per **** people in Poland was recorded in 2006 at ***. Marriages in Poland In 2023, the number of marriages in Poland amounted to *******, marking a decrease compared to the previous year. The lowest number of marriages was recorded in 2013 at ***** thousand. In 2023, marriage rate per 1,000 inhabitants was measured at *** — thus, an increase compared to 2020. At its highest, this indicator was set in 2008, when it amounted to ***. The number of divorces in Poland has been systematically decreasing since 2011, reaching ****** cases in 2023. For a broader perspective, the figures have increased by over ** percent since 1995. The highest number of divorces in the country happened in 2006 (******). On the other hand, the number of marriages concluded over the same period has decreased by nearly ** percent. Government support program for families "500 plus" Family 500+ program is a systemic support for Polish families. From 1 July 2019, all children up to the age of 18 are entitled to the benefit regardless of income received by the family:- the program offers support for every family, also for single-parents.- the funds are paid out regularly, every month until the child completes 18 years of age. In 2018, the government in Poland spent over ** billion zlotys under the "Family 500+" program, of which the most funds were transferred to families in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship. This program enjoys the support of almost half of the society in Poland. The funds transferred to the families in 2019 were most often spent on clothes and shoes, art articles for school, and additional extracurricular activities. A measurable effect of this assistance was the possibility to develop children's interests by participating in extra activities.

The longitudinal survey New Families in the Netherlands (NFN) was held among parents with minor children who divorced or separated from a cohabiting union after 2009. At that time (March 2009) a new law came into effect that gave children the right to equal care by both parents and that obliged parents to construct a parenting plan. NFN aimed to collect information about parents’ legal arrangements at the time of divorce, in particular children’s residence arrangements and parenting plans, and how these arrangements affect parents and children. NFN was based on a random sample of parents who divorced/separated after 2009 from the Dutch population registers (main sample). In addition, data among two control groups were collected: parents who divorced prior to 2009 and cohabiting/married parents (intact families). The control samples were also based on random samples from the registers. The first wave took place in 2012-2013. Respondents filled in a web-survey and were sent a paper-and-pencil questionnaire at the final reminder. In total, 4481 parents from the main sample participated, 2173 from the control group of intact families and 792 form the control group of divorced parents. Researchers using the NFN data are asked to include an acknowledgment and a reference to the codebook (see codebook section 1: Use of data).

BackgroundThe link between parental divorce and adolescents’ academic achievement may depend on parental educational levels. However, findings have been inconsistent regarding whether the negative associations between parental divorce and adolescents’ academic outcomes are greater or smaller in highly educated families. The present study aimed to investigate the possible heterogeneity in the associations between divorce and adolescents’ academic achievement by parental educational levels, within the context of the elaborate Norwegian welfare state.MethodsThe population-based cross-sectional youth@hordaland study of adolescents aged 16–19 years conducted in Norway in 2012, provided information about parental divorce and was linked to national administrative registries (N = 9,166) to obtain high-quality, objective data on the adolescents’ grade point average (GPA), and their parents’ educational qualifications and income.ResultsThe negative association between parental divorce and GPA was stronger among adolescents with educated or highly educated parents compared to adolescents with less educated parents. This heterogeneity was driven by maternal educational qualifications, whereby divorce was more strongly and negatively associated with GPA among adolescents with educated mothers compared to those with less educated mothers, independent of paternal educational levels and income measures.ConclusionsAmong adolescents whose parents have low educational qualifications, parental divorce is not associated with their academic achievement. Educated divorced mothers appear less likely to transfer their educational advantages onto their children than nondivorced equally educated mothers, perhaps due to a “double-burden” regarding work pressure and child-rearing responsibilities. There is a need for future studies to detail the mechanisms underlying this finding.

Pooling microdata from five Australian censuses, I explore the relationship between child gender and divorce. By contrast with the United States, I find no evidence that the gender of the first child has a significant impact on the decision to marry or divorce. However, among two-child families, parents with two children of the same sex are 1.7 percentage points less likely to be married than parents with a boy and a girl. Surveys of parental attitudes suggest that this effect is more likely to be driven by fathers than by mothers. This finding is not consistent with theories of preference for sons over daughters, differential costs, role models or complementary costs, but is consistent with a theory of parity preference.

In 2023, *** marriages were registered per 1,000 inhabitants in Russia, compared to *** divorces per 1,000 population. The marriage rate in the country saw an increase compared to the previous year. In 2011, *** marriages were registered per 1,000 Russians, which was the highest number recorded over the period under consideration. What do marriage and divorce rates mean? The crude marriage rate refers to the number of marriages per one thousand population, according to the United Nations Population Division. In total, around ******* marriages were registered in Russia in 2023, while the country’s population was estimated at ***** million in that year. Another indicator relevant to Russian demographics is the crude divorce rate, which is the number of divorces recorded in a year per 1,000 population, as defined by the United Nations Population Division. In total, nearly ******* divorces were registered in Russia in 2023. What do Russians think of marriage? In every age category, most Russians believed that being married and living in a family was most preferable in the society. However, the share of family and marriage supporters was the lowest among 18-to-24-year-olds, measuring at ** percent. Both for men and women, the ideal age to get married was considered in a person’s twenties.

This fact sheet provides information on family violence. Family violence occurs when a person abuses someone in their family. It can happen to anyone - both children and adults. Family violence can be words, acts or even not giving someone the care they need. It may be a single incident, or a recurring pattern of behaviour. Family violence can also happen before, during or after a couple separates. People are often at higher risk of family violence soon after a separation.

The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) gathers information on family life, marriage and divorce, pregnancy, infertility, use of contraception, and men's and women's health. The survey results are used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and others to plan health services and health education programs, and to do statistical studies of families, fertility, and health.
