Divorcing Children: Children's Experience of Their Parents' Divorce (Paperback)

Drawing on a three-year multidisciplinary study of the children of divorced parents, the authors present an essential guide to working with children who are experiencing parental separation. This book provides an in-depth picture of the effect of divorce on children both during and after the proceedings. The authors show what children want and need to know and how professionals can allow them to have a degree of involvement in the process of separation. Divorcing Children addresses the weaknesses of current legislation in family justice and suggests ways of improving the skills and knowledge of all professionals who work with children during this difficult period in their lives.
