dc.description.abstractOn the basis of a qualitative study of 27 separated and divorced parents, this article seeks to examine the extent of shift toward more egalitarian and democratic intimate relationships between men and women by looking at postdivorce and separation relationships. The article uses the division of labor in single- and dual-earning couples, to map the role division in responsibilities postseparation. The findings suggest that the renegotiation of family practices postseparation is heavily influenced by the gender roles practiced during the marriage. The article draws attention to some of the grave consequences of leaving out discussion of structural aspects of societies and personal relationships, for the people themselves and our understanding of changing family practices.en_ZA
