In the United States, as in most other countries, it is a legal process in which a judge or another legal authority dissolves the bonds of matrimony existing between two persons. The process of divorce also normally involves issues surrounding distribution of property, financial support of the former spouse, child custody and child support. A divorce also allows a person to marry again.In the United States, divorce is, like marriage, a matter for state governments, not the federal government. Although divorce laws vary from state to state, for example on which terms a divorce can be arranged, a divorce must be certified by a court of law to become effective.

This Mikrozensus special survey consists of 2 parts which both have population statistical background. On question block is on birth-biography (which includes questions on the frequency of marriages) and the other is on the educational career. The block on the birth-biography is not new since it is identical to the one from the surveys in June 1991 (Mikrozensus MZ9102) and June 1986 (Mikrozensus MZ8602) and similar to those from 1981 (Mikrozensus MZ8102) and 1976 (Mikrozensus MZ7602). The family is currently in a state of flux. The birthrate today is much lower than in past times. The number of new marriages is declining while the number of young people who stay single increases. Many people live in extramarital life partnerships. On the other hand, divorce rates have increased so much that nowadays every third married couple gets a divorce. To add numbers to these undeniable trends it is necessary to have reliable information from the Mikrozensus standard surveys complemented by Mikrozensus special surveys. The topic educational career has never been covered so thoroughly in any Mikrozensus, although some questions had been part of past special programs, e.g. in the special program “advanced education” from December 1989 (Mikrozensus MZ8904). There is no available up-to-date data which would give sufficient information for various problems (e.g. Europe-wide programs with educational-political goals or labour force research in Austria) since results from the institutionalised educational statistics (school- and high-school statistics) as well as the population census offer only limited information.
