PARENTAL LIFE COURSES AFTER SEPARATION AND DIVO...

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.
