The purpose of this research was to identify levels of resilience in divorced people according to their education and income levels. For Gomez (2010), adverse situations are best dealt with adequate levels of resilience. The study involved 139 divorced participants: divorced men (44.6 %) and women (55.4 %); with basic education (48.2 %), college educated (51.8 %), with an income of less than COP $1.8 million (60.4 %) and with an income higher than COP $1.8 million (39.6 %). The methodology was quantitative with a cross design and ANOVAS were run in order to answer the research questions. People with college education showed higher levels of resilience in social competence and social support. Furthermore, those with higher income showed greater strength
and self-confidence, social competence, family support and structure. In addition, an effect was
found between the interaction of levels of income and education level, and the in strength and
self-confidence. For future research, it is suggested to deepen these results on qualitative level.
