Ben Carrasco Law Scholarship

Divorce is, unfortunately, very common in our society today. Everyone has likely heard the saying that “half of all marriages end in divorce.” While experts who analyze divorce rates say this statistic is actually very misleading, if not completely false, there is no denying the fact that about 877,000 married couples in the U.S. seek out a divorce attorney for a divorce or an annulment each year.

Divorce is a life-changing event for all parties, especially when children are involved. It’s a complicated, emotional process that often has significant effects on a child’s development and day-to-day life. If you’re a child of divorce, or are simply interested in a career in family law, we want to hear from you. The Law Office of Ben Carrasco is awarding a $1,000 scholarship to current or incoming college students.
