Abstract: The living arrangements of children appear to be diverging according to social class. Although children of college educated parents enjoy relatively stable family lives, children of less educated parents tend to have experienced more family changes in recent decades (McLanahan, 2004; Cherlin, 2010). This profile presents trends since 1980 in maternal relationship status and education from the perspective of minor children. In addition, it illustrates how changes over the past 30 years in mothers relationship status varied depending on mothers educational attainment.
