REMARRIAGE AND ITS ALTERNATIVES FOLLOWING DIVORCE: MOTHER AND CHILD ADJUSTMENT

Maria Beth Isaacs, George H. Leon

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

The current literature on the effects of new parental relationships following separation on the child's well‐being has overemphasized remarriage, per se, and has failed to analyze other types of relationships. The present study examines how mother and child adjustment varies among four categories of “blending”: (a) remarriage, (b) living together but not remarried, (c) seriously involved but not living together, and (d) not seriously involved.
