Divorce can have a significant impact on a person’s childhood, development, and outlook on relationships and life.

This scholarship is offered by Pamela Henry, owner of Soul Custody Press in Redlands, California, and author of Soul Custody: Sparing Children from Divorce, release date April 20, 2025. Soul Custody Press (www.soul-custody.com) wants to hear from children of divorce to better understand the impacts of it. Divorce can be traumatic even if consideration doesn’t end in divorce.
