Academic and socioeconomic
Frequently, children who have experienced a parental divorce have lower academic achievement than children from non-divorced families. A review of family and school factors related to adolescents' academic performance noted that a child from a divorced family is two times more likely to drop out of high school than a child from a non-divorced family. These children from divorced families may also be less likely to attend college, resulting in the end of their academic career.
