The declining social stigma attached to divorce may lead to less negative effects on children's well-being over time, as divorce becomes more normalized and accepted in society. This could also lead to more support being available for children of divorce, and potentially even a decrease in the number of children impacted as divorce becomes less stigmatized and more normalized. However, it is unclear if there are more supports in place for children of divorce at school or if parents have more social supports following divorce, so options B and D cannot be confidently chosen.
