What We Want To Know: The Impact of Divorce On Children

The Ramos Law Group, PLLC is offering students an opportunity to win one of our bi-annual $1,000 scholarships. The scholarship is intended to help those individuals who are children of divorced parents, but it is not required that you are a child of divorced parents to be eligible. To apply, write a 1,000-word essay describing the impact of divorce on children. Our goal with this topic is to help parents understand how divorce impacted the lives of their children.

The winning essay will be posted on the Ramos Law Group Blog and Facebook, along with a picture of the author.
