This book was released on 2015 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally speaking, children have a difficult time with divorce or parental separation. In many instances, parents pay no attention to reflect on the ramifications of the effects of the divorce or parental separation on their children. The purpose of this Master's Project is to understand the psychological consequences and how a positive parental relationship is a significant component to minimize the potentially detrimental effects. The quantitative survey research asked 34 adult parents to answer questions regarding the psychosocial effects of divorce or parental separation on children based on their perceptions, experiences, and knowledge as an adult parent. The results from this research suggest that the respondents are aware of the psychological effects of divorce on children and also parents. Another significant finding from the results are that parents fully support the concept of positive parenting equipped with collaboration from both parents while raising their children despite going through a divorce or separation. Lastly, implications for social work practice and limitations of the study are also explored.

Book excerpt: Many children in Australia experience parental separation during their childhood, with one-quarter of Australian children under 18 years spending some of their childhood apart from one of their parents. Parental separation often precipitates significant changes to a child's relationships and physical environment. This can include changing schools, or living locations, and residing in two households. Relationships with parents, siblings, extended family, step-parents and step-siblings are also significant and present various challenges for children. These changes can be stressful and potentially impact on children's adjustment, development and long-term wellbeing. The consequences of parental separation can be long lasting, affecting children's wellbeing throughout their lives and into adulthood.Current understandings of the impact of parental separation and divorce on children primarily draw on adult perspectives of children's experience, either through retrospective accounts of adults who experienced parental separation as children, or from adults, including professional and parental assessment of children's wellbeing. This thesis aims to fill this gap by drawing on theory from Childhood Studies to explore how children experience and make sense of the changes that occur when parents separate. A qualitative approach was adopted to better understand children's experience. A child reference group provided advice and guidance at the beginning of this study and reflected on the findings near the completion of the study. Twelve children aged 8 to 13, participated in in-depth, semi-structured interviews. All children were recruited from a Family Relationship Centre (FRC) in Canberra, Australia, and all had been part of a group program or engaged in individual counselling under the Supporting Children after Separation Program (SCASP) framework. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). This method ensured that the findings remained grounded in, and reflective of,children's perspectives and experiences. Systems theory was used during analysis to assist with an understanding of how the impact of parental separation brings changes to both the micro and macro systems of children's lives.A range of themes emerged across the children's experiences. Sadness and loss were evident in all the children's stories. For some, these feelings were ever-present and, at times, overwhelming. Many spoke of feeling left out and not valued in re-formed families. Children also identified the need for adults to: just listen; include them and give them a say in decisions about their lives; and provide information about what is happening in their families. Children highlighted the need to be engaged in family life and their need to feel valued. Children demonstrated a range of strategies to manage the changes and the difficult feelings, including seeking formal counselling/support, making decisions about contact with parents, seeking support from friends and developing internal cognitive strategies.Changes in family formation brought about through parental separation have precipitated significant policy changes and reforms to the family law system in Australia. In this study, a number of children reflected on their experience of shared parenting, shared care and court mediation, providing a perspective on the way legislation and policy are experienced by children. In exploring children's experiences and understandings of parental separation, this study extends and challenges dominant understandings of the effect of parental separation on children and builds knowledge of the supports required for children to manage and respond to these changes in their lives. This thesis makes an essential contribution to understanding the way in which children experience and make sense of parental separation. Drawing on the perspective of children, the thesis makes a further contribution to the development of policy in relation to families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A paradigm-shifting model of parenting children in two homes from an internationally recognized expert. A researcher, therapist, and mediator, Robert Emery, Ph.D., details a new approach to sharing custody with children in two homes. Huge numbers of children are affected by separation, divorce, cohabitation breakups, and childbearing outside of marriage. These children have two homes. But their parents have only one chance to protect their childhood. Building on his 2004 book The Truth About Children and Divorce and a strong evidence base, including his own research, Emery explains that a parenting plan that lasts a lifetime is one that grows and changes along with children’s—and families’—developing needs. Parents can and should work together to renegotiate schedules to best meet the changing needs of children from infancy through young adult life. Divided into chapters that address the specific needs of children as they grow up, Emery: • Introduces his Hierarchy of Children’s Needs in Divorce • Provides specific advice for successful parenting, starting with infancy and reaching into emerging adulthood • Advocates for joint custody but notes that children do not count minutes and neither should parents • Highlights that there is only one “side” for parents to take in divorce: the children’s side Himself the father of five children, one from his first marriage, Emery brings a rare combination of personal and professional insight and guidance for every parent raising a child in two homes.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study derives its inspiration from those researchers who have observed that if divorce is mainly perceived as a legal procedure then it can be described in terms of the legal processes that a couple have to go through in order to officially terminate their marriage to become eligible to remarry. However, if divorce is seen through a psycho-social prism then it needs to be portrayed as the complete experience of the break-up of the adult relationship and the consequences for those intimately associate with the former couple, but especially the dependent children. It is this latter, broader notion of separation and divorce that is embodied in this study.

This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book assembles landmark studies on divorce and separation in European countries, and how this affects the life of parents and children. It focuses on four major areas of post-separation lives, namely (1) economic conditions, (2) parent-child relationships, (3) parent and child well-being, and (4) health. Through studies from several European countries, the book showcases how legal regulations and social policies influence parental and child well-being after divorce and separation. It also illustrates how social policies are interwoven with the normative fabric of a country. For example, it is shown that father-child contact after separation is more intense in those countries which have adopted policies that encourage shared parenting. Correspondingly, countries that have adopted these regulations are at the forefront of more egalitarian gender role attitudes. Apart from a strong emphasis on the legal and social policy context, the studies in this volume adopt a longitudinal perspective and situate post-separation behaviour and well-being in the life course. The longitudinal perspective opens up new avenues for research to understand how behaviour and conditions prior or at divorce and separation affect later behaviour and well-being. As such this book is of special appeal to scholars of family research as well as to anyone interested in the role of divorce and separation in Europe in the 21st century.

Book excerpt: Is there really such a thing as a “good divorce”? Determined to uncover the truth, Elizabeth Marquardt—herself a child of divorce—conducted, with Professor Norval Glenn, a pioneering national study of children of divorce, surveying 1,500 young adults from both divorced and intact families between 2001 and 2003. In Between Two Worlds, she weaves the findings of that study together with powerful, unsentimental stories of the childhoods of young people from divorced families. The hard truth, she says, is that while divorce is sometimes necessary, even amicable divorces sow lasting inner conflict in the lives of children. When a family breaks in two, children who stay in touch with both parents must travel between two worlds, trying alone to reconcile their parents’ often strikingly different beliefs, values, and ways of living. Authoritative, beautifully written, and alive with the voices of men and women whose lives were changed by divorce, Marquardt’s book is essential reading for anyone who grew up “between two worlds.” “Makes a persuasive case against the culture of casual divorce.” —Washington Post “A poignant narrative of her own experience . . . Marquardt says she and other young adults who grew up in the divorce explosion of the 1970s and 1980s are still dealing with wounds that they could never talk about with their parents.”—Chicago Tribune

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Abstract] This thesis explores the question: How does the child experience his/her parents' divorce? A phenomenological method was employed to obtain the results. The collaborators included six females and one male, ranging in age from six to fifteen years. The structure of divorce manifested itself in the following essential themes: Before the divorce: a) an increase in fighting in the home, b) separation with associated feelings of shock and relief ; During the divorce: a) children's complaints of parents always being in a bad mood, b) an acting out on the part of the children due to the confusion and anger over the divorce, c) fantasizing dangers to a parent or self; After the divorce: a) continuation in the parents' 'grumpiness', b) a breakdown in the relationship and consequently in communications with the parents with associated feelings of hurt, anger and hate, c) absence of a parent with associated feeling of powerlessness, rejection and disappointment, d) initial rejection of parents' new love interest, e) financial problems, f) maturity and independence. This study concludes with suggestions for parents, educators and therapists to alleviate the distress that accompanies divorce.
