title: Factors associated with academic achievement in children following parental separation.
abstract: Elementary school children who maintained their academic performance levels following separation of their parents were compared to those whose levels declined. Although no single measure could accurately predict children's academic adjustment, those who maintained performance levels spent significantly more time with both parents.
