Preferred term

costs of divorce  

Definition

  • Although the emotional consequences of divorce are widely recognized as a significant stressor for adults and children, the economic costs associated with divorce are an additional strain felt by nearly all families. These complex costs often differ for men, women, and children, with women and children typically experiencing greater economic hardship compared to men.
