The results showed the possibility of a calibrating of the emotional divorceas percieved by children scale by Rasch model , The number of item in the final form (88), after the deletion of the items are not suitable for the foundations of objective measurement, In addition the estimates of the corresponding individuals for each possible grade on the scale were calculated, and T-Score and Percentile Ranks which illustrate this estimates also were calculated.
