This study analyzes marital instability among women 30-44, within a statistical framework. Three specific issues are focused on: (1) How does the fertility pattern of the wife influence the stability of a marriage? (2) What factors determine actual alimony and child support payments? (3) What effect does potential alimony and support payments have on divorce and separation? In addition, new evidence is presented dealing with parental marital instability and their children's economic success.
