The evolution of the divorce-rate tends to show a serious increase of the number of children of divorced parents who may experience a "single parent family" situation. This should change the status of the child of divorced parents. Referring to a model claiming the priority of preserving the family institution, the child of divorced parents has been for a long time, with the help of "scientific knowledge", the object of a social stigmatizrtion. The psycho-pathological perception of divorce prohibited the questioning of the negative effects of this social stigmatization or of those due to the standard of living difficulties met very oftenly by the parent who has custody, that is, in most cases: the mother. Beyond what yet makes the specificity of the child of divorced parents, the evolution of divorce tends to assimilate the problem of children of divorced parents to a problem of children in general, for they are faced with a mutation in family models within the family itself and in relation to society. The problem of children of divorced parents becomes a specific illustration of the effects of his mutation. The new and extremely important questions posed by this mutation as concerns the socialization of children in general, by the family and by society
