Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to develop the Children's Adjustment to Divorce ScaleFamily Form (CADS-Family Form). The CADS-Family Form is designed to collect data from adults (parents/caregivers) who observe the behavior of children whose parents are divorced or in the process of divorce. A total of 368 parents, 85.5% female (315) and 14.4% male (53) participated in the research. The CADS-Family Form is a Likert-type scale. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) analysis were conducted within the scope of scale validity and reliability studies. According to the results of EFA, it was understood that the responsibility was 0.85 for the dimension of emotional-behavioral problems, and 0.89 for all scale items. The results of the analysis show that the CADS-Family Form with a 5-point Likerttype rating consists of 13 items and two dimensions (responsibility, emotionalbehavioral problems) and is a reliable and valid scale for measuring children's adjustment to divorce.
