I discovered this summary of United Kingdom research by accident but I have to say thank you Google. I incorporated the title Together and apart: Children and parents experiencing separation and divorce into my title above. I quote some of the summary here:
- Separation for children can be particularly difficult when followed by a number of other changes to the family setting, for example where parents find new partners or where new children are brought into the household.
- Financial hardship and parental distress are also associated with continuing problems for children.
- Formal interventions need to be child-centred and available to all on the basis of need rather than civil status. However, many children seek better communication with and informal support from friends and family.
