Overview
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the divorce rate in the United States has tripled since 1960. In 1994 alone, nearly 1.2 million American couples ended their marriages. Experts predict that nearly half of all marriages in the United States will eventually end in divorce. A sad result of this high divorce rate is that more than a million children will experience the break up of their nuclear families each year.Straight Talk About Divorce provides teenagers with information about the divorce process and how it affects their lives and feelings. It helps the individual reader understand that he or she is not alone and offers practical suggestions for coping with the painful emotions and conflictladen situations common to divorce.
Discusses the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of the divorce process, examining the impact of divorce on the lives of young people and providing resources for more information and for help.
