Abstract

This study has been an attempt to understand the progression of twenty-eight 'children of divorce' as they have participated in the Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP) and through the fifteen-month follow-up period thereafter. There were 15 girls and 13 boys; their ages ranged from 7 to 13 years; they were in grades 2 to 7 at school; 20 children were of middle-class status, 8 children were from lower socio-economic backgrounds; 7 children had parents whose divorce was pending, the other 21 children had parents who had been divorced between 3 months and 11 years; and 26 of the 28 children were in the custody of their mothers.
