Divorced Kid

From American Public Media | 00:54:00

What's the impact of a divorce? Award-winning producer Sasha Aslanian and thousands of other kids know. Aslanian explores the "divorce revolution" of the 1970s from the perspective of kids who lived through it, and experts who have had three decades to make sense of it.

"Divorced Kid" also examines how the experience of divorce has changed for kids since the '70s, through kids' classes and judicial reforms designed to improve the outcomes of divorce.

The program debuted on Minnesota Public Radio and received a torrent of positive listener calls and comments from those who wanted to contribute their own stories.
