Second only to Cuba, Bahamas has the highest incidence of divorce in the Caribbean per 1000 population and ranks among the top 20 countries in the world. The social impact of divorce on our society is far reaching and deserves our undivided attention. Note the following research based facts.

§  Half of all children born to married parents this year will experience the divorce of their parents before they reach their 18th birthday.

§  The divorce of parents before a child reaches 10 is a major predictor of adolescent delinquency and adult criminality.

§  Neglect of children, which can be psychologically more damaging than physical abuse, is twice as high among separated and divorced parents. (Taken from Patrick F. Fagan and Robert Rector, Backgrounder, The Heritage Foundation, June 5, 2000)
