Preferred term

postdivorce relationships  

Definition

  • Americans continue to favor marriage as a desired and normative adult life transition, but divorce rates remain near 50 percent, and marital dissolution is now an accepted feature of our social landscape. Indeed, the recent advent of “divorce announcement” stationary appears to signal a new level of public acceptance of postdivorce life as a normative life transition.
