Over the past two decades, more than one million children each year have experienced a family divorce, and the proportion of children affected by divorce is expected to grow substantially in the twenty-first century. Most of these children experience significant changes in their living arrangements, and the poverty rate for children of divorce is about twice the rate for all children in the United States. We are, therefore, devoting this issue of the journal to divorce because it is a crucial factor in the lives of millions of children in this country.
在过去二十年中，每年有超过一百万名儿童经历家庭离异，预计在二十一世纪，受离婚影响的儿童比例将大幅上升。这些儿童中的大多数生活安排都发生了重大变化，离婚家庭儿童的贫困率约为美国所有儿童贫困率的两倍。因此，我们将本期杂志的主题定为离婚，因为它是这个国家数百万儿童生活中的一个关键因素。
