The statistical population of this research included all divorced women who referred to counseling centers in Sabzevar city in the fall and winter of 2022. To measure the variables, the questionnaires of family of origin communication patterns, primary maladaptive schemas questionnaire, divorce attitude questionnaire and internal active patterns questionnaire was used. For data analysis, Pearson's correlation test and structural equation modeling were used with SmartPLS software. The results of Pearson's correlation test showed that there was a significant difference between the initial incompatible schemas and the patterns of dialogue and conformity. There is a significant relationship with the attitude towards divorce. Also, the results of the structural equations indicated that the internalized active patterns (attachment styles) in relation to the primary maladaptive schemas and family communication patterns with the attitude Divorce does not play a mediating role. Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the relationship between primary maladaptive schemas and family communication patterns with attitude towards divorce is a simple linear relationship and internalized active patterns ( attachment styles) cannot mediate this relationship.
