Statistics of Children of Divorce and Separation

It's Official: The Experiment Has Failed

For the best part of thirty years we have been conducting a vast experiment
with the family, and now the results are in: the decline of the two-parent,
married-couple family has resulted in poverty, ill-health, educational
failure, unhappiness, anti-social behaviour, isolation and social
exclusion for thousands of women, men and children.

From Experiments in Living: The Fatherless Family
By Rebecca O'Neill; Sept. 2002, CIVITAS

The Impact on our Children

40% of mothers reported that they had interfered with the
fathers visitation to punish their ex-spouse.
["Frequency of Visitation" by Sanford Braver, American Journal of Orthopsychiatry]

50% of mothers see no value in the fathers continued contact with his children.
["Surviving the Breakup" by Joan Berlin Kelly]

90.2% of fathers with joint custody pay the support due.
79.1% of fathers with visitation privileges pay the support due.
44.5% of fathers with no visitation pay the support due.
37.9% of fathers are denied any visitation.
66% of all support not paid by non-custodial fathers is due to the inability to pay.
[1988 Census "Child Support and Alimony: 1989 Series" P-60, No. 173 p.6-7,
and "U.S. General Accounting Office Report" GAO/HRD-92-39FS January 1992]

63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.
[U. S. D.H.H.S. Bureau of the Census]

90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes.
85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes.
[Center for Disease Control]

80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes.
[Criminal Justice and Behavior, Vol. 14 p. 403-26]

71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.
[National Principals Association Report on the State of High Schools]

70% of juveniles in state operated institutions come from fatherless homes.
[U.S. Dept. of Justice, Special Report, Sept., 1988]

85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home.
[Fulton County Georgia Jail Populations and Texas Dept. of Corrections, 1992]

What does this mean? Children from fatherless homes are:

4.6 times more likely to commit suicide,
6.6 times more likely to become teenaged mothers (if they are girls, of course),
24.3 times more likely to run away,
15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders,
6.3 times more likely to be in a state-operated institutions,
10.8 times more likely to commit rape,
6.6 times more likely to drop out of school,
15.3 times more likely to end up in prison while a teenager.
(The calculation of the relative risks shown in the preceding list is based
on 27% of children being in the care of single mothers.)

And compared to children who are in the care of two biological, married
parents, children who are in the care of single mothers are:

33 times more likely to be seriously abused (so that they will require medical attention), and
73 times more likely to be killed.
["Marriage: The Safest Place for Women and Children",
by Patrick F. Fagan and Kirk A. Johnson, Ph.D. Backgrounder #1535.]

Children and Single Moms

Children living with single moms don't do well in our society. It used to be
the exception. Now it is becoming the rule and progressively worse.
Is that not child abuse too?

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT CHILDREN FROM SINGLE-MOTHER FAMILIES

	Single-Mother Family		Two Parent Family		Relative Odds¹
Problem	%	(n)²	%	(n)²
Hyperactivity	15.6	(69,480)	9.6	(221,573)	1.74
Conduct disorder	17.2	(73,659)	8.1	(180,786)	2.36
Emotional disorder	15.0	(67,205)	7.5	(173,714)	2.18
One or more behaviour problems	31.7	(137,460)	18.7	(418,894)	2.02
Repeated a grade ³	11.2	(36,288)	4.7	(78,026)	2.56

One or more total problems ³	40.6	(128,895)	23.6	(381,715)	2.21

Children from single-mother families are 2.21 times (221%) as likely
to have one or more total problems than those from two-parent
families, twice as likely to have an emotional disorder, etc.
(The probability of this being due to chance is smaller than 1 in 1,000)
Weighted projections to reflect national population of children.
Data for items so annotated apply for 6- to 11-year-olds only.
