After divorce a family does not cease to exist; the marital relationship may have ended, but the family relationships continue, particularly if there are children involved. This book describes some of the expectable difficulties for couples at different life cycle stages--those with young children, childless couples, and midlife and aging couples--and offers guidance for making the most of the transition from separation to remarriage. Readers are likely to find the case studies and descriptions of four types of divorced spouses--"perfect pals," "cooperative colleagues," "angry associates," and "fiery foes"--particularly helpful.
Constance Ahrons is the "go to" author for how to have a good divorce. She was doing this work and re-thinking the damage that the legal system (and out of control parents) do to families and kids long before it entered on almost everyone else's radar screen. This book treats each phase separately and defines them as transitions, with chapters on each so that each phase is treated separately. The text is a little dense, aimed perhaps at professionals and lay people with some education (this is not some simple breezy read, but then again, the problems aren't exactly simple, either).
