 CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION

I. Background of the Study

Divorce and separation are never easy. The divorce rates among young couples are increasing
progressively and have this become an issue of major concern. Divorces were not so common in
the past, but as time passed by, it began to be accepted as more of a common practice. The
increasing divorce rate persists because couples choose divorce as an option for problems that most
of the times can be solved by discussion and compromise. The divorce in Philippines is not
banned, it is however in the process of making into a law as the bill for it is being currently studied

1
in the congress already. There may not be a divorce bill in the country but theres annulment and
separation grounds that the couple can file in the Court.

In this Investigatory project, the researchers’ will tackle more things about divorce like its
causes, pros and cons, effects, and many more. We will also perform surveys to students.
Nowadays many marriages end in divorce, and surprisingly most of them end at their early stages.
Some people accepts divorce very easily and even suggests it as a solution to the trivial problems
faced in a husband-wife relationship. Therefore, marriages and family life are at risk. If the
numbers of divorces keep on rising in this pattern, marriages might as well become extinct. The
researchers’ will perform a survey whether students approves or contradicts the idea of divorce.

II. Statement of the Problem

The researchers would like to solve and answer these following problems:

• Will this study provide more knowledge about divorce?

• Will this study educate many people and may encourage them to build a strong relationship
with their love ones ?
• Will this study be useful to many people to improve their knowledge about understanding the
causes, effects, pros, and cons of a divorce?
• Will this research give many people deep insight on how divorce affects the community?

23
• Will this research show the effects of a divorce on a child?

III. Significance of the Study

The researchers would like to know the significance and importance of our experiment, and these
are some we came up with:

• This study will examine if a student will agree or disagree on the idea of divorce and if divorce
will affect the academic performance of the students.
• This study will educate many people and may encourage them to build a strong relationship
with their love ones

4
• This study will provide the humanity a deep insight about how divorce affects the lives of
each person
• This study will be useful to many people to improve their knowledge about understanding the
causes, effects, pros, and cons of a divorce

VII. Scopes and Limitations

This investigatory project covers the study of the researchers if students from Immaculate
Conception Academy of Manila will agree or disagree on the idea of divorce. We will perform a
survey to some selected students using a questionnaire. We will gather the data and informations
that came from various students and form a conclusion if more students agree or disagree on
divorce.

The limitation of this study is that the researchers are not that familiar to divorce so they
need to research more. This study is only limited to performing a comparative research wherein
students approves or contradicts in the idea of divorce.

 CHAPTER 2:
REVIEW OF
RELATED
LITERATURE

Divorce

Divorce, also known as dissolution of marriage, is the termination of a marriageor marital

union, the canceling or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, thus
dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular
country or state. (Safi, 2017)

9
 Across the globe, the Philippines and the Vatican are the only states without divorce but allow
the annulment of marriages. The Vatican is an independent state headed by the pope, who also
heads the Catholic Church. The Philippines, meanwhile, is a predominantly Catholic country.
Majority of couples also opt to marry in church. ( Patag, 2018)

Currently, the only legal recourse available to Filipinos who want to exit a failed union is
through an annulment or a petition for legal separation. These two options have different grounds
and end results. Under the Family Code of the Philippines, a marriage may be annulled if any of
the following grounds exist: lack of parental consent, psychological incapacity, fraud, marriage by
force or intimidation, inability to consummate the marriage and if one party has contracted a
sexually-transmissible disease. The 1987 Family Code was introduced under the presidency
of Corazon Aquino. (Santiago, 2018)

What are the legal grounds for divorce? Spouses may choose to file for a "no-fault" or "fault-
based" divorce. A No-fault divorce statutes allow a spouse to file for divorce without blaming the
other spouse for the dissolution. Grounds for a no-fault divorce include irreconcilable differences,
irremediable breakdown and loss of affection. Fault-Based Divorce. Many states also allow a
spouse to obtain a fault-based divorce. Grounds for a fault-based divorce include adultery,
abandonment, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol abuse. Spouses may choose to obtain a
fault-based divorce to avoid a required waiting period, or to influence the court's decisions
regarding child custody, child support, alimony, and division of assets. (Hamilton, 2016)
What is the difference between a divorce and an annulment of marriage? An annulment of
marriage is a legal decree that a marriage is null and void. Annulments are granted when a court
makes a finding a marriage is invalid. While a divorce ends a legally valid marriage, an annulment
treats the marriage as if it never existed. The end result of an annulment is the same as a divorce—
the parties are single and may remarry or enter into a domestic partnership with another person.
Additionally, as with divorce, the court presiding over an annulment proceeding may determine
issues of child custody, child support, alimony, and division of assets. (Lizman, 2003)

Causes of Divorce

10
 One reason is infidelity. Extra-marital affairs are responsible for the breakdown of most
marriages that end in divorce. This is one of the most common causes of divorce. The reasons why
people cheat aren’t as cut and dry as our anger may lead us to believe. Infidelity often begins as a
seemingly innocent friendship, says cheating expert Ruth Houston. “It starts as an emotional affair
which later becomes a physical affair”. (Warren, 2007)

Finances. It’s not usually the lack of finances that causes the divorce, but the lack of
compatibility in the financial arena.Opposites can attract but when two people are opposites in the
financial department, divorce often ensues. Imagine the conflict if one is a saver and one is a
spender. One is focused on the future while the other believes in living for today. One has no
problem buying on credit, while the other believes in saving up for what one wants. Over time,
this conflict can reach such heights that divorce seems to be the only logical conclusion. (Payne,
2015)

One of the main reasons is Abuse. According to Simple Divorce Advice, physical, mental,
and emotional abuse all are common reasons why couples get divorced. Consistent fighting,
whether its physical or verbal, is not healthy for either party. Eventually, many people involved in
volatile marriages reach a breaking point and seek divorce. Staying in an abusive relationship is
neither healthy nor safe. Counselling can often help abused spouses make the decision to seek help
and to make a change. (Applebury, 2017)

Effects of Divorce

Substantial research evidence shows that, on average, children who have experienced
parental divorce score somewhat lower than children in first-marriage families on measures of
social development, emotional well-being, self-concept, academic performance, educational
attainment, and physical health (Amato 2000; Furstenberg and Kiernan 2001)

The children and adolescents who appear to be most vulnerable socially and emotionally
are those who experience multiple transitions in parenting arrangements throughout their
childhood. Research indicates that children who experience no changes in family structure (e.g.,

11
children who live continuously with both biological parents, or those who live their entire
childhood with a single parent) have higher levels of adjustment (Demo and Acock 1996)

When parents divorce each other, another sort of divorce occurs between the parents and
their children. The primary effect of divorce (and of the parental conflict that precedes the
divorce) is a decline in the relationship between parent and child. (Meneghan,2006) Immediately
after a divorce, most parents have two sets of problems: their adjustment to their own
intrapsychic conflicts and to their role as a divorced parent. The stress of divorce tends to
weaken and even damage the parent-child relationship for divorced mothers. (Wallerstein, 1996)

Children of divorced parents rated the support they received from home much lower than
children of intact homes, and these negative ratings become more pronounced by the time
children are in high school and college. (Parish,2007)

Children’s relationships with their parents worsen after a divorce.Marital disruption

creates distance between parents and children, even compared to children living in married but
unhappy families. (Rossi,2007) Divorced parents also report significantly diminished satisfaction
with their former spouse’s relationships with their children, though parental divorce tends to
affect the relationship of the child and the opposite-sex parent more than the child and their
parent of the same sex. (Arnato,2002)

Divorce also has some positive effects for children. Single parents are often closer to their
children than married parents were. This is can also be negative as when a child takes on too
much responsibility because one or both parents are not functioning well as a parent, or when a
parent talks to a child about how hurt they are by the other parent, or how horrible that other
parent is. (Corcoran,1997)

Older studies showed boys had greater social and academic adjustment problems than girls.
New evidence indicates that when children have a hard time, boys and girls suffer equally; they
just differ in how they suffer. Boys are more externally symptomatic than girls, they act out their

12
13
anger, frustration and hurt. They may get into trouble in school, fight more with peers and
parents. Girls tend to internalize their distress. (O’Connell, 2000)

Preventing Divorce

“A couple can significantly improve their chances of marital success by devoting as little
as 15 minutes a day exclusively to each other” says Dr. Franklin Smith, an Israeli-American
psychologist notable for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making. “For
instance, you could wake up a little earlier, and spend the extra time in bed cuddling, making
love, and reaffirming your love for each other. Take time every day to have meaningful
conversations with each other; to listen with the same intensity as when you were dating; to
touch, hug, and show affection; to tell each other how you feel about your marriage; and to talk
about your goals for the marriage and your lives”. (Smith, 2003)

Learn to love your spouse in the way he/she wants to be loved. We often make the
mistake of assuming that the things that touch our hearts the most deeply will affect our partner
in the same way. For instance, you may think red roses are the perfect gift, but to your spouse,
they represent a waste of money and an allergy attack. If you don't already know, find out what
your spouse yearns for, and then deliver it with love—and no comments about how "stupid" it is
to want a cordless drill/a picnic on the living room floor/a tuna casserole. Remember: the best
gift is something your spouse wants—not merely something you want him/her to have. (Kelly,
2012)

A common factor of long-term happy marriages is that the spouses regularly do things
together that they find fun and exciting. Whether that's ballroom dancing, bowling, playing
cards, SCUBA diving, or skiing, participate in at least one activity that you both enjoy every
week. If you have kids, make sure at least half of these activities are for you and your spouse
only (Benoit, 2014)

“It’s The Terms of Endearment”. Top Los Angeles divorce attorney Stacy D. Phillips
says flowers, candy, cards, and gifts are all wonderful tokens of love, but if you really want your
romance to last, you must practice some marriage-saving steps. She advises couples to spell out

14
the basics of their relationship in a yearly contract—or at least to clarify them. "Most disputes
that break up marriages are over sex and money," she says. "Don't let surprises lead to trouble.
Marriage is like any other contract: its terms and conditions must be reviewed and
updated."(Phillips, 2002)

One should understand that it is important to always bring back the old style of making
your partner fall for you. Look your best for your spouse. Lose the ratty sweat pants or frayed
sweater he/she hates so much; you can find other comfortable clothes that aren't a complete turn-
off for your partner. This also means taking care of your health—including eating properly and
exercising regularly. (Dans, 2016)

“I can share some but it’s a personal opinion”, Psychologist, Debora Clarkson says
“always keep your marriage a priority and put it before everything and everyone else. Take care
of your marriage and give your spouse and yourself positive reasons to be faithful. Both should
always invest in marriage. This is not just the maintenance of number three but actual work on
improving your marriage and making deposits in both the love and trust banks of your
spouse.”Clarkson also added that a spouse is less likely to be unfaithful to a relationship in which
he/she have invested so much. (Clarkson, 2017)

A former E! Pop Culture, Senior Director Bill Stratford, who is 22 years married says, “I
guess you have to fill your social network with people who are supportive of marriage in general
and your marriage in particular and also make sure to support their marriages as well”. He also
believed that spouses must agree on what commitment, fidelity, and exclusivity mean. “Meet
your spouse's most important needs, of course your should never forget to maintain an active and
enjoyable sex life. (Stratford, 2018)

“Always maintain appropriate boundaries in all situations and of course, being honest is
your starting ground. How you communicate with your spouse and with other people about
marriage problems is an important factor to deal with. Do not talk about problems with your
spouse with someone of the opposite sex. Another thing is, when you are talking about marriage
problems with same sex friends make sure you are looking for ways that you can do the right
thing instead of complaining about your spouse”. (Lewin, 2011)

15
 An Austrian-born American psychologist specializing in personality theory and social
psychology once says, “The key to marital happiness and success is friendship. Some of the most
important aspects of this type of friendship are knowing each other intimately, demonstrating
affection and respect for each other on a daily basis, and genuinely enjoying each other's
company. That will cement a good marital relationship between spouses.”, (Mashlow, 2009)

Saying “I Love You” to your partner everyday is especially important when you're not
feeling the sensation of love; at these times, you have to actively generate it. Saying those three
little words, and performing loving gestures, will warm both your and your spouse's hearts.
(Brown, 2015.)

There is no substitute for talking regularly and about everything. Our wives
feel intimacy with us when we share openly about our lives, our interests, our dreams and our
expectations. A family therapist friend of mine suggests that husbands and wives set aside 30
minutes each day without interruptions where the couple can just talk together. Effective
communication is an important way to strengthen marriage. (Hilgard, 1998)

One of the best things to do to strengthen your marriage and avoid divorce is to seek help
when your marriage starts to shake. If you are still having challenges, consider
getting counseling or couples therapy. Often your workplace (or hers) will have access to an
employee assistance program or EAP, where you can get some initial help and a referral to
others. You might consider starting with a trusted member of the clergy if you share a religious
heritage and then move beyond if needed. (Kessler, 2016)

The demise of many families revolves around finances. Often we bring different
expectations about money to a relationship and coming to agreement on how we handle money
together is a critical component of success. Agree on a budget and an approach to debt and then
live within your limits. Learn to differentiate between a need and a want, and then make sure
your needs are met. (Thompson, 2014)

CONCLUSION

After researching about this topic which is divorce, performing the procedures, and
presentation and analysis of results, the researchers found out that most students in Immaculate
Conception Academy of Manila are undecided on the idea of divorce.

After doing the survey, the researches found out that most students thinks that divorce
is not a solution to relationship problems. They also agrees that the parents. Of the couple should
interfere on their child planning to have divorce. Almost everybody thinks that the child is the
most affected in a divorce situation. They are mostly undecided if divorce should be legalized in
our country and it the government, that church officials should have a debate about divorce, and
that the government should put up a governing body to help those divorcing couples.

Recommendation

31
 The researchers recommend you to research more about this topic. Even though, you are
just a student, you are also part of this country and maybe someday you’ll make a difference. This
topic is also one of the controversial issues in our country today. It is better if you have knowledge
about this. Simple researches will help you a lot.

For the future researchers of this product, the researchers recommend you to also try survey
on different persons you know, not only for us students. It will help you a lot, plus the fact that it
is a fun thing to do. Doing this will make up and open your eyes and mind about the different
views of the people around you about divorce and marriages. The researchers also recommends
you to read books that has problems similar to this research.
