| Abstract: | This article objectively reviews the effects of divorce on the financial well-being of families. Women and children suffer disparities in income, but the differences are not as great as publicized in other studies and diminish with remarriage. The absence of marriage, not the presence of divorce, is the major cause of poverty for women. |
