Preferred term

children as a risk for divorce  

Definition

  • Family is an important social institution constituting persons related by kin or blood; it is also a unit in which adult members (typically the parents) assume the care for their dependent children. However, changes in the laws governing marriage and divorce have altered the marital roles associated with the traditional nuclear family.
