2. INTRODUCTION
 A California psychologist, Dr. Miriam Galindo maintains a
private practice in Irvine. Dr. Miriam Galindo is on the
approved panel of experts for the Orange County
Superior Court, which allows her to perform child-custody
evaluations in cases of marriage dissolutions involving
children.
A few years ago, Georgetown University and the
University of Chicago released the results from a study
researching the impacts of divorce on children. The study
drew data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth
as far back as 1979, which offered a sample of nearly
4,000 people. It provided details on health and
development as well as the socio-economic state of the
children.

3. DIVORCE
 The results indicated that children in affluent
families tend to have more negative behavioral
outcomes following a divorce. Becoming
anxious, having low self-esteem, bullying
others, and acting out in defiance were among
the emotions and actions reported by
participants' mothers. One researcher
suggested that the adjustment in behavior and
attitude could be linked to a drastic change in
income that resulted in relocation and
admittance into a new school.
