Abstract
A return to school is discussed as both a possible contributing factor to marital separation or divorce as well as an outcome. Resuming work or education may produce role conflict within a marital relationship. A return to school may also follow a divorce in cases where a woman needs to obtain training necessary to support herself or her family. The special problems and counseling needs of the divorced reentering student are also delineated. Implications for society and education include the institutionalization of "maintenance" funds for reeducation and the removal of the many obstacles to part-time study faced by the divorced returning adult.
